Balfour Beatty set to build œ25m Salford tax haven
Balfour Beatty's Northern Construction Division is to undertake the
design and construction of a œ25 million office development
for the Inland Revenue at Chapel Wharf in Salford.
The project is part of a œ43 million Private Finance
Initiative development awarded to London & Regional Properties
and Balfour Beatty in last August. The scheme involves relocating
2000 Inland Revenue civil servants working in the Manchester area.
The new offices will provide seven floors of open-plan office
accommodation, with restaurant, gym, conference and meeting rooms
and administration areas.
The building was designed by architect Leach Rhodes Walker to
maximise the use of natural daylight and ventilation, resulting in
a modified H-shaped building.
