Members of the public are being invited to have their say on exciting plans to transform Regent Retail Park into Regent Park: Salford’s new neighbourhood.

Henley acquired the retail park, which sits on the border of Salford and Manchester, in October 2020 and recognised that regeneration is needed to ensure the site continues to meet the needs of the local community. As such, Henley is now bringing forward proposals to redevelop the retail units, between Costa Coffee and TK Maxx, into a new green neighbourhood.

A modern new neighbourhood in close proximity to local services, Regent Park will provide attractive new homes to help meet the housing demand of a growing population, centred around a new urban park. The park, Salford’s first for decades, will run through the heart of the development, with approximately five acres of open space for people to enjoy.

The development will continue to serve as a  Neighbourhood Centre for Salford, and will provide a multitude of shops, cafes, restaurants, and leisure uses that closely meet the needs of the local community – now and in the future.

The vision for the site:

“At the heart of our placemaking-led, people-first vision for Regent Park is a new urban park, which will provide much-needed green space for Salford residents. Our Masterplan creates a safe, walkable and inclusive neighbourhood where nature and architecture work together harmoniously, fostering a community that prioritises liveability and wellbeing”

Warwick Hunter, [MD Development and Head of ESG] at for Henley said: “Henley is excited to bring forward this unique development that connects communities, activities and amenities in one sustainable new space that balances the needs, aspirations and ideas of the growing Salford population.

“We want a place that is fit for the community it serves, that fosters growth and that people can be proud to call home. We look forward to hearing people’s views on the emerging proposals and using that feedback to help develop our designs into a space that people want.”
