The tallest tower block in Salford Quays has now been completed - and it's three months ahead of schedule. The Erie Dock Apartments (Eda) development features 290 build-to-rent apartments and stands at 29-storeys high. The building takes over from Blue as the tallest building in Salford Quays after the MediaCity development held the title for 13 years. Cole Waterhouse and Taurus Investment Holdings are behind the Eda scheme which was completed by contractor Domis Construction. Designed by Chapman Taylor architects, Eda is a 250,640 sq ft, L-shaped residential building comprising one, two and three-bedroom apartments.

Simon Gallanders, managing director of Cole Waterhouse Residential, said: "We've worked in close partnership with our joint venture partner Taurus and our contractor Domis to achieve this milestone, taking a highly collaborative approach from start to finish which has had a significant impact on the speed and quality of delivery. "We have some exciting collaborations planned with local food and drink establishments, leisure, retail and transport operators to provide discounts and exclusive deals for our new residents who are looking forward to moving into the building this month." Nick Jacobs, managing director of Taurus UK, added: "The delivery of Eda really has been a great example of a best-in-class partnership working together to achieve a superb sustainable project. "We started this programme in Covid and despite the continued economic turbulence and the associated supply and skills issues Domis has completed a remarkable job to be able to achieve such an early handover of the building. "I am grateful for the incredible efforts and execution of all our partners who have helped to bring to life our unique and distinctive vision for Eda. "We are already working on our second joint venture partnership with Cole Waterhouse at Upper Trinity Street in Digbeth, Birmingham and look forward to bringing the first phase forwards in 2024." Lee McCarren, managing director of Domis Construction, said: "We're proud to have completed the tallest tower in Salford Quays well ahead of time and that achievement is down to the dedication and commitment of our superb team working in close collaboration with Cole Waterhouse and Taurus. "The team developed an incredible bond during the delivery of this prestigious scheme, taking a real partnership approach, with flexibility and trust shown on all sides. "This is our second highly successful project with Cole Waterhouse and Eda will be a fantastic addition to the residential offer in Salford."
