Wesham Mental Health Rehabilitation Centre
Dubbed ‘the hanging gardens of Salford’ due to the 4,000 square metres of vertical foliage, A3 New Bailey is an office development located in Salford.
In addition to its living walls, the building provides 115,000 square feet of office space and ground-floor retail units. The final build runs exclusively on renewable energy and includes Passivhaus-standard insulation.
It forms part of a £1bn Salford Central masterplan, delivered by The English Cities Fund (ECF), a joint venture between Morgan Sindall’s development arm Muse, Legal & General and Homes England, in partnership with Salford City Council.
The tower has also been selected as a London Energy Transformation Initiative pioneer – a network aimed at meeting zero-carbon goals in the construction industry.
The 12 storey, 110,000ft2 office building increases local biodiversity and aims to be as sustainable and energy and carbon-efficient as possible
