Fresh plans have been submitted to construct a 41-storey tower in Salford.

Manchester-based Progressive Living Developments (PLD) is behind the new proposals for its site in Gorton Street.

If approved, the tower will include 568 studio apartments as well as residents lounges, a cinema room, games room and makers space, communal cooking and dining areas, a gym and wellness centre, co-working spaces and meeting rooms over four floors.

The plans come after the developer submitted plans for a 36-storey tower on the same site in April 2021.

The previous proposals included 485 co-living apartments as well as a 171-bed hotel.

If the new plans are approved, a landscaped roof terrace and a sky bar will also be created but a hotel does not feature in the revised scheme.

PLD has said it hopes to start on site in spring 2024 if the go-ahead is granted.

Director David Fairclough said: "Currently being used as a surface level car park, our vision for Gorton Street presents an opportunity to redevelop a forgotten pocket of land in a way that will positively contribute to Salford's wider regeneration strategy for the Greengate area and deliver sought-after co-living accommodation that will provide quality, affordable places to live for young professionals.

"We have been working on proposals for this site for some time now and are excited to finally share this high-quality development.

"We believe it will create a vibrant community through the array of communal spaces available to residents and promote wellbeing through its focus on lifestyle amenities.

"The schemes co-living offer will complement the mainly BTR tenure of adjacent towers in Greengate and bring a more affordable entry into city centre living.

"We are in advanced discussions with both a co-living operator and a funder for the project and hope to make announcements shortly."
