This list of the tallest buildings and structures in Salford ranks buildings in the City of Salford, England, by height.

As of 2024, Salford has five towers completed at a height of 100 metres (330 ft) or more and a further three towers above 100 m under construction. The City of Salford is a borough of Greater Manchester, which has 32 towers either built or under construction over 100 m, the highest number of towers in any metropolitan area in the United Kingdom outside of Greater London.

History and future development[edit]

At 73 m (240 ft), Salford Cathedral was the tallest building in Salford for 118 years following its construction in 1848.[citation needed] However it was not until the 1960s and 1970s that the first tall building boom in Salford occurred. During this period a number of mid-rise brutalist residential buildings were constructed, predominantly in the Pendleton area of the city as a means to house significant populations affected by industrial decline.[citation needed] In 1966, the 80 m (260 ft) City Central tower finally overtook Salford Cathedral as the tallest building in the city.

Through the 1980s and 1990s, few significant proposals came to fruition. However, there has been a renewed interest in skyscrapers in Salford in the past two decades with a number of proposals being brought forward. Significant proposals included the 179 m (587 ft) Greengate Tower and the 160 m (520 ft) Canopus Tower A, both in the Greengate area of the city, which would have been the tallest towers in Salford and the city's first official skyscrapers if built.[1] However due to economic factors in 2008 these towers were never constructed.

Unlike most major cities in the United Kingdom, there are no height restrictions and local planning officers generally adopt a laissez-faire attitude towards city centre high-rises in Salford.[citation needed] MediaCityUK in the Salford Quays area of the city has been at the forefront of development in the last 10 years with a number of mid-rise towers being completed. These include the 90 m (300 ft) Blue, MediaCityUK which became the tallest building in the city in 2010, the X1 Media City collection of four 85 m (277 ft) towers and the 82 m (269 ft) TheHeart, MediaCityUK.

Into the 2020s, Salford Quays will continue to be an important growth district for Salford with two further tower clusters emerging in Cotton Quay and in the second phase of the X1 development in MediaCityUK. The Cotton Quay development will see a collection of six towers over 50 m (160 ft) constructed including the 158 m (518 ft) Tower One skyscraper which will become the second-tallest building in Salford when completed. The second phase of the X1 development will see five towers constructed, including three over 100 m (330 ft). The tallest tower in this development will be Tower 1 which at 125 m (410 ft) is due to become the sixth-tallest building in Salford when completed. If all future plans come to fruition, then Salford Quays will contain one skyscraper over 150 m (490 ft) and five further high-rises over 100 m.[citation needed]

The Greengate area of Salford is the second major development area for the city. Its location close to central Manchester and relative underdevelopment over the preceding decades means that a number of significant new proposals have come forward.[citation needed] In 2018, the 130 m (430 ft) Anaconda Cut became the tallest building in the city and the first building in Salford to reach a height of over 100 m.[2]

If all future plans come to fruition, then Greengate will feature two skyscrapers over 150 m and a further six high-rises over 100 m. The biggest development proposal is Waterloo Place which when completed in 2024, at 173 m (568 ft), will become the second-tallest building in Salford, sixth-tallest in Greater Manchester and sixth-tallest in the United Kingdom outside London.

Waterloo Place lies in close proximity to Anaconda Cut and will be joined by the three Greengate Park North towers, the tallest of which will reach 155 m (509 ft). With the completed 110 m (360 ft) Affinity Living Riverview, proposed 112 m (367 ft) Gorton Street Tower and the 110 m Irwell Towers, Greengate will soon have a coherent cluster of towers over 100 m alongside a number of smaller towers.[citation needed]

If all future proposals come to fruition, Salford could contain 100 buildings over 50 m tall as well as 14 high-rises above 100 m and four skyscrapers over 150 m. When considered with Manchester city centre, which it borders, the area will contain over 60 high-rises over 100 m, the highest in the United Kingdom outside London. If considered separately from Manchester, then at (14) Salford will contain the fourth-highest number of high-rises of any city in the United Kingdom after Greater London (over 250), Manchester (48) and Birmingham (30).
