WELCOMEWe are pleased to present our ideas for the Ralli Quays project, which completes an important piece

of the Salford Central Masterplan.

We have been developing our design to complement the surrounding buildings and uses, whilst looking to be progressive in our approach. We believe we have an exciting and vibrant design which

will enhance Salford and Manchester, bringing a new concept to the market.

Our concept is to combine an office and hotel in a contemporary way, which will support the adjacent buildings, and we hope, once complete, will be seen as a forward thinking, interesting and exciting

landmark project to be proud of.

THE SITE + LOCATION• The existing site comprises two purpose-

built office blocks of circa. 80,000 sq. ft. built almost 30 yrs ago, including basement storage and car parking.

• The site is approx. 1.06 acres in size and is prominently located on the Salford waterside of the Irwell overlooking Spinningfields.

• It is adjacent to the new office population centre of the New Bailey development and very close to Salford Central rail station.

Ralli Quays Site Location

Ordsall Chord

SURROUNDING BUILDINGS• The site is surrounded by an evolving

context, with numerous proposals under way.

• The site plan reflects the developments that are complete, and those we expect will progress in the next few years.

• The existing Ralli Quays buildings are underwhelming and redevelopment of the site will complement the scale and quality of the completed or planned new buildings.

EXISTING BUILDINGS• Ralli Quays as we see it today has existed since circa

1991 - 1993 and was constructed to replace original brick buildings which contained the Irwell Foundry and Irwell Marble Works dating from the 19th Century.

• As can be seen below, the original buildings were of a prominent scale, and built up to the Irwell River, which was an important route for trade at that time.

• The name Ralli Quay may derive from the famous Ralli Brothers, merchant traders who had their headquarters in Manchester. The brothers traded in a wide variety of cargo, shipping it to and from bases in Europe.

SITE POTENTIAL• Strong axis are created within the Salford

Central and Spinningfields masterplans, which are orientated north-south, and converge at the Ralli Quays site.

• These axis help to direct views and pedestrian flow towards the site, and give greater emphasis on the Ralli Quays project for a scheme of high quality.

• Planning potential is available for office, residential or hotel led redevelopment of the site with ground floor commercial / retail / food & drink uses or ancillary uses.

THE CONCEPT Our concept looks to maximise the potential of the site.

We do this in a number of ways which are:

• Build to the River wall, as the original Ralli Buildings did• Open up the ground floor, with transparent, active spaces • Add floor space through taller buildings• Link uses at ground floor with a connected link• Create river terraces and landscaped spaces• Use as much of the existing basement as possible• Ensure the building form addresses key views• Use quality materials throughout• Integrate enhanced sustainability measures

surroundings

BUILDING FORM

• Consider the original building form, with it’s prominent base and connection to the river as a good basis for the proposed design.

• Ensure a clear language, with simple, clean geometry.

• The uses within each space are legible and engage with their surroundings.
