Salford Quays is an area of Salford, near the end of the Manchester Ship Canal. Previously the site of Salford Docks, it became one of the first and largest urban regeneration projects in the United Kingdom following the closure of the dockyards in 1982.
Salford Quays is home to the Lowry Outlet Mall and the Golden Tulip and Copthorne Hotels as well as numerous developments of apartments to rent.
As with Manchester City centre, the rental market in Salford Quays is predominantly apartments for rent rather than houses for rent. Rental prices range from approx £500 to £700 per month for 1bed & 2bed apartments to rent.
In 2007 it was confirmed that the BBC would be moving several of its departments to a new Media City to be built on Pier 9 of the Quays. It is claimed that mediacity:uk will create up to 10,000 jobs and add £1bn to the regional economy over 5 years.
