en.Wedoany.com Reported - A joint venture between UK industrial logistics developer Chancerygate and CBRE has commenced construction of a logistics project on an 11-acre site adjacent to the CorpAcq Stadium (home of Sale Sharks) in Salford. Named Westside, the project has a total gross floor area of 105,000 sq ft and is being built by Stainforth Construction. It will offer units ranging from 6,150 sq ft to 23,500 sq ft.
The stadium was completed 14 years ago, and the first employment-focused development on the surrounding 42 acres of developable land has finally broken ground—a welcome step forward for the planned redevelopment of the land around the CorpAcq Stadium. The Westside project received planning permission last summer and is expected to be completed in autumn 2027.
Andy Farrer, Development Manager at Chancerygate, stated that Westside will meet the demand from small and medium-sized enterprise tenants in Salford, Greater Manchester, and the wider North West region for high-specification, well-connected, and established space. The project will deliver high-quality industrial accommodation, combining strong sustainability credentials with convenient transport links and highway infrastructure. The agents for Westside are B8 Real Estate and DTRE.
Development around the stadium has previously progressed slowly, with only an Aldi supermarket and a bar built over the years, while the supply of industrial space has struggled to advance. In 2024, another developer, Cole Waterhouse, withdrew from plans to build 300,000 sq ft of warehouse space near the site. Currently, Salford City Council, which owns the stadium, is developing a master plan for the remaining surrounding land. The area is part of the Western Gateway Growth Zone, which encompasses Salford Quays, and plans are in place to establish a Mayoral Development Corporation to accelerate regional growth.
