Riverbank Wharf

Overview

Riverbank Wharf is a 214-apartment waterside scheme on the Salford bank of the Irwell, developed and delivered in-house by 36 PARTNERS. It sits inside the Ordsall Waterfront regeneration corridor, minutes from MediaCity and Manchester city centre.

Phase 2 releases studio, one and two-bedroom apartments at direct-from-developer pricing. Every unit is delivered fully finished with a furniture pack, and our lettings team places tenants ahead of handover.

Rental demand in Salford is driven by media, digital and university employment, with a tenant pool that has grown faster than new supply for eight consecutive years.

Our assessment

Why 36 Partners selected this scheme

Our own site, our own contractor and our own lettings desk. We acquired the land in 2023 and funded construction through senior debt, so no part of the build depends on investor deposits.

We priced Phase 2 against registered completed sales on the Ordsall waterfront rather than projected values, which is why the entry price sits below several nearby launches.
