Plans for 263 new one, two and three-bedroom apartments designed by Buttress Architects on Peru Street in Salford are now approved.

This next stage of Adelphi Village will deliver 151 homes across two five- and six-storey buildings, situated across from the 185 apartments approved as part of Farmer Norton Phase 2.

The plans also include a further 112 affordable Passivhaus apartments mirroring those nearing completion at Willohaus.  Buttress is delivering all planned homes, with Farmer Norton Phase 2 being designed by dRMM which Buttress will now take on through the construction phase (RIBA Stage 4).

Adelphi Village is the main residential area of the £2.5bn, 240-acre Crescent Salford masterplan being delivered by Salford City Council, the University of Salford and ECF – a partnership between Homes England, L&G and nationwide placemaker Muse.

Benefiting from the first wave of the Greater Manchester Combined Authority’s (GMCA) £1bn Good Growth Fund, Adelphi Village has been awarded £23.4m for 336 new homes, most for social and affordable rent.

The new homes will be set within a thoughtfully designed landscape, incorporating tree planting, green spaces and dedicated outdoor areas to support residents’ wellbeing. Secure cycle parking will further encourage active, sustainable travel. Landscape architects Re-form are collaborating with Buttress to shape a cohesive, high-quality environment that integrates architecture and landscape from the outset.

Martin Kirkpatrick, Buttress director said: “We are excited to be supporting Muse in this development and to be involved in the on-going success of this project. Buttress continues to build and deliver on the high-quality Passivhaus homes for the people of Salford.”

The other Passivhaus Buttress schemes in Salford include Greenhaus, completed in March 2024, and Willohaus which is due for completion soon.

Work on the Adelphi Village is expected to begin on site this summer.

Steve Thomas, senior development manager at ECF, said: “With Willohaus set to complete this summer and work beginning on Farmer Norton, approval for the next stage of homes in Adelphi Village is a positive step as momentum builds across the Crescent Salford masterplan. These apartments, and the wider Adelphi Village, will not just deliver much-needed, high-quality homes but also create a new, sustainable, inclusive neighbourhood for the people of Salford.”

Adelphi Village is just one aspect of the Crescent Salford masterplan, which will deliver more than 3,000 new homes, state-of-the-art facilities, enhanced green spaces and improved infrastructure to create a vibrant place for people to live, work, study and thrive.
