One Albert Street aims to bring 126 brand-new homes to Eccles town centre, including a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments and ground-floor duplex townhouses with individual garden terraces.
Planning approval has now been granted to transform a long-vacant brownfield site, bringing design-led homes to Eccles that contribute towards creating a vibrant, sustainable community.
With excellent transport links to Manchester City Centre, Salford Quays, and MediaCityUK, plus green spaces and independent neighbourhoods like Monton nearby, One Albert Street will offer a well-connected lifestyle.
The project has been thoughtfully designed to be in-keeping with the local area, combining contemporary design with elements inspired by Eccles’ industrial heritage, while providing a wider variety of property types to suit the needs and lifestyles of the local community.
As part of the ongoing regeneration of Eccles, One Albert Street will complement Salford City Council’s emerging masterplan for the town centre. The plans include connecting Albert Street and Church Street through Vicarage Walk and Church Square, creating new, greener public spaces and contributing to a more vibrant and connected town centre.

Location
One Albert Street will deliver a mix of homes, including ground-floor duplex townhouses with individual garden terraces and apartments with private terraces, with access from both Albert Street and Peel Street. The plans include landscaped green space, 134 cycle storage spaces, and a landscaped internal courtyard with communal seating.
The design combines contemporary architecture with elements inspired by Eccles’ industrial heritage, using high-quality traditional brickwork, deep window reveals and horizontal soldier coursing. A dark red brick gateway corner with double-height glazing creates a distinctive entrance to the development, complemented by oxide red window frames and Juliet balconies. Ground-floor duplex townhouses with individual garden terraces provide active street frontages, helping the development integrate with the surrounding public realm.
This long-vacant brownfield site will be transformed into a vibrant residential community, designed to elevate the town centre and contribute to the wider regeneration of Eccles, adding new homes in an ideally located part of the borough.
Perfectly placed in the heart of Eccles town centre, One Albert Street offers easy access to everyday essentials, vibrant neighbourhoods and key employment hubs. Eccles train station is just a short walk away, providing fast, direct services to Manchester City Centre in just seven minutes.
Monton is one of Greater Manchester’s most desirable areas, known for its independent bars, restaurants and coffee shops. It’s just a 15-minute walk from the development, offering a thriving social scene within easy reach.
Trafford Park is less than a 10-minute drive away. Recognised globally as a centre of excellence, it is home to over 1,300 businesses and provides more than 35,000 jobs, making One Albert Street an ideal base for professionals.
