Plans for a new 'Cotton Quay' district in Salford Quays, Greater Manchester, have just been approved
Cotton Quay will be a new neighbourhood with 1,500 homes, two hotels plus a lido and floating gardens. It will also feature a climbing wall and a rooftop park - all approved and to be constructed in Salford Quays.
Cotton Quay will also include space for retail outlets.
One of the hotels is planned to sit at the end of the pier which developers hope will become a ‘landmark waterfront hotel’.
Currently, the space is taken up by two small commercial buildings and a car park. The developers maintain that the space is currently under-utilised. The development would be well served by Manchester’s Metrolink light rail system.
