‘Eda’ residential apartments, formerly known as Anchorage Gateway, has officially opened in Salford Quays, Manchester, UK.

Designed by Chapman Taylor, Eda is a 290-apartment build-to-rent project from Cole Waterhouse and Taurus Investment Holdings and comprises a 250,600 sq ft L-shaped apartment block next to the Anchorage tram stop in Salford Quays.

Amenities at Eda include coworking spaces, residents’ lounges, a cinema room, a private dining area, and a fully equipped gym.

Eda received full planning approval from Salford City Council in October 2020.

Eda is another prestigious development in Chapman Taylor's growing residential portfolio across the UK. We have thousands more homes under construction, with many more in the pipeline.
