A £52m development with hundreds of apartments aimed at young professionals has been completed in Salford.
Developer Salboy was behind the Fifty5ive Queen Street scheme which features 220 flats as well as a cinema, gym, yoga studio, co-working spaces and a break-out lounge.
The scheme is the eighth to have been completed by the company in partnership with DOMIS, its dedicated construction partner.

Fifty5ive is a scheme developed across two adjoining sites that in isolation were not considered viable for redevelopment: the old Copperworks on King Street and a second site on Queen Street, both of which were surrounded by historic and often listed buildings.
Working with Jon Matthews Architect, Salboy and DOMIS were able to bring forward a scheme that combined the two sites to allow for a more efficient floorplate, larger amenity space and more natural light.
Simon Ismail, co-founder and managing director of Salboy, said: "Once again, the Salboy and DOMIS partnership has delivered: Fifty5ive was completed under budget and on time and is almost entirely sold out in advance.
"It’s hugely rewarding to deliver another scheme in this important part of Salford that’s home to a lot of the city’s history and rightly deserves to be regenerated and enjoyed by people who work and make their homes there for years to come."
Kingsley Thornton, director of DOMIS Construction, added: "We’re proud of the collaborative work with our business partners at Salboy and Jon Matthews to find a solution that delivers a viable and exciting new development next to our flagship scheme Local Blackfriars.
"On top of that, we delivered ahead of schedule and under budget - something that was only made possible by the hard work of our teams and partners on-site."
