Fortis Developments have commissioned Box to take on Herreshoff and Danforth buildings as part of the Fortis Quay development in Salford.
Building work has already started on the project and will include five high specification blocks rising to 27 storeys and containing some 750 luxury apartments.
Graham Place, CEO of Box Architects, said: “This ambitious building will provide excellent views over the city”.
With completion scheduled for 2018, the project will be Salford’s tallest building.
