Eda (short for Erie Dock Apartments and formerly Anchorage Gateway), is a 101-metre-tall (331 ft), 29-storey residential skyscraper in Salford Quays, Greater Manchester, England. It was designed by Chapman Taylor, with Jon Matthews Architects as the delivery architect. As of October 2024, it is the sixth-tallest building in Salford and the 24th-tallest building in Greater Manchester.

History

Planning

The developer Cole Waterhouse purchased the site from COIF Charities Property Fund in August 2019. It was previously home to The Anchorage, a four-storey 1990s office building that had been occupied by Barclays.

In April 2019, an outline planning application was submitted to Salford City Council for the demolition of the office building and a residential development of up to 31-storeys and 290 apartments, with up to 1,000 m (11,000 sq ft) of non-residential floorspace. Planning approval was obtained in November 2019.

In March 2020, a reserved matters application was submitted to the council for 290 apartments with up to 400 m (4,300 sq ft) of non-residential floorspace within a part 19, part 28-storey building. Planning approval was granted in October 2020.

Construction

Construction of Eda commenced in 2021 and the building was structurally topped out in April 2023. The tower comprises 29-storeys, made up of ground, mezzanine and 27 levels of build to rent apartments. It was anticipated to open in December 2023, but the building was topped out in April 2023 and completed in September 2023.

Facilities

The tower also includes co-working spaces, a cinema room, landscaped podium garden, roof terrace, private dining suite and fitness studio.

Anchorage tram stop on the Eccles Line of the Metrolink system is located opposite Eda.
