Artifex

in Greater Manchester

Where is Artifex situated?

The new residential complex is nestled in the Trinity area of Salford, Greater Manchester. Perched on Blackfriars Road, Artifex puts its residents within walking distance of Manchester City Centre with a wide range of world-class amenities and attractions. In recent years, Salford has received impressive numbers of investments, resulting in the growth of residential, commercial, and office properties as well as the restoration of historic buildings to preserve the area’s unique heritage. Thanks to Salford University, the city has accumulated a large student population that alongside MediaCityUK has boosted the area’s economy.

To get a reprieve from the buzzing streets of the city, residents of Artifex can take a long promenade along the River Irwell that slices through the area and leads to the bustling centre. However, if you head in the opposite direction, you will arrive at a collection of charming green spaces, including Peel Park, a large beautifully landscaped area with a playground and sports pitches, coupled with the Salford Museum and Art Gallery.

One of the main draws to Salford is its travel connections. Artifex is placed within a 10-minute walk of Salford Central Railway Station, while Manchester Victoria is only 17 minutes away. Furthermore, residents of the new development benefit from easy access to Metrolink services with an array of tram stops located within strolling distance.
