Abito Salford Quays
Salford
What:
Roll out of the Abito concept.
Why:
Building on the success of Abito Greengate and to leverage off the imminent relocation of BBC to MediaCity.
How:
Abito’s second scheme is close to the heart of Salford Quays and benefits from a waterside location. It’s connected by excellent transport links, has a thriving arts and leisure scene and since the relocation of the BBC to MediaCityUK, has become a residential area of choice. Abito proved to be a real winner – not only with owner:occupiers and investors who snapped up these innovative compact living spaces, but with the property sector itself who have bestowed numerous awards on Abito.
