Covid delays Laing O’Rourke start to £160m Salford tower

The developer behind Salford’s tallest residential tower project has pushed back the construction start date by six months because of the Covid lockdown.

Hong Kong developer One Heritage this morning confirmed Laing O’Rourke would now begin work in the second quarter of this year rather than starting on the project now as originally planned.

The scheme, known as Waterloo Place, will comprise 545 flats in a 55-storey tower to be built in the Greengate district, overlooking Manchester arena.

Many of the tower’s components will be pre-fabricated off-site by Laing O’Rourke in sterile factory conditions, making new social distancing guidelines easier to fulfil.
