Ask Real Estate, the commercial property developer majority owned by the Richardson family, have joined forces with Salboy, owned by Betfred co-founder Fred Done, to deliver the transformational Viadux project in Central Manchester.
Planning permission for the scheme is already in place for a 40-storey residential tower and a 14-storey office building that will provide 240,000 sq ft Grade A commercial space.
The £300 million project is due to start on site this spring and is expected to take around three years.
Simon Ismail, co-founder and director of Salboy, said:
“This is a new and exciting partnership, joining together two well established real estate companies to deliver such a significant development in Manchester. Working with a partner of the calibre of Ask will help create one of the most exciting mixed-use projects in the heart of the city centre.”
