Atelier

in Greater Manchester

What is the location of the complex?

The new development is perched on Chapel Street, an eclectic quarter of Salford, which accommodates dozens of independent restaurants, coffee shops, pubs, music venues, galleries, and museums. The area attracts creative, unique thinkers with its authentic atmosphere and vibrant spirit.

A stone’s throw away from the city centre’s buzz, Atelier also enjoys close proximity to a plethora of green spaces. Right on the doorstep, there is Islington Park, a small green area, where residents can take a brief break from the busy streets. For a long tranquil stroll amidst lush greenery, take a 14-minute walk to Peel Park, a riverside sanctuary with a play area and sports pitches. Moreover, the area is home to Salford Museum and Art Gallery.

Every corner in Greater Manchester is easily accessible for residents of Atelier as the nearby Chapel Street and Ring Road open a gateway to the city’s road network. Furthermore, Salford Central Railway Station is only a 5-minute stroll away from the development, letting homeowners travel around the city and beyond. Other transport options within easy reach include bus and Metrolink services. The nearest tram stops are Exchange Square and St Peter's Square that can be reached in under 20 minutes.
