Once those buildings were razed, the plan was to build four tower blocks, from nine to 25-storeys tall. They would sit opposite a new ‘neighbourhood’ to be built on the existing Regent Road Retail Park containing the third-tallest-tower in the UK, where Sainsbury’s is now.
However, Salford council has stopped the demolition going ahead over how a footpath near to the casino would be affected.
