Silkbank Wharf is a major residential development by Forshaw Group, prominently positioned on the banks of the River Irwell in Salford, directly opposite the historic Castlefield district. Completed in 2024, the scheme comprises a 17-storey waterside apartment tower delivering 160 homes. Finished ahead of schedule, it stands as one of Forshaw’s flagship projects within the Manchester–Salford area and forms part of the wider regeneration of the River Irwell corridor.
The development blends contemporary high-rise architecture with strong industrial references. Its hand-laid brick façade draws inspiration from Manchester’s warehouse heritage, while the tall, slender form establishes a distinctive presence along the waterfront. Generous glazing and private balconies maximise natural light and provide expansive views across the river and city skyline. Transforming a previously underutilised riverside plot, Silkbank Wharf introduces high-density urban living to the area and makes a significant contribution to the evolving skyline of Salford.
The development features fully fitted kitchens with integrated appliances, modern bathrooms with premium fittings, fibre broadband, and secure access systems, while benefiting from a prime location within walking distance of Manchester city centre, close to Salford Quays and MediaCityUK, and well connected to major employment, retail, leisure destinations, and public transport and cycling routes.
