Welcome to Eden – one of the UK’s most sustainable office buildings

Eden is a new 12-storey, 115,000 sq ft office development at New Bailey, Salford, for businesses who are serious about protecting the planet. Eden will have the capability to run on 100% renewable electricity and has been designed using the UK Green Building Council’s 2035 – 2050 standards.

Designed by Make Architects – the architectural practice behind the Three New Bailey and Four New Bailey office buildings – Eden aims to be the standard-bearer in environmentally-conscious development and occupier wellbeing. Eden will be kitted out with the latest in smart tech solutions to improve resource efficiency, with upgraded insulation in line with the Passivhaus standard, enhanced ventilation to improve the flow of fresh, clean air, along with an air source heat pump to provide low-carbon heating, hot water, and cooling.

During the design stage of the scheme’s inception, partners undertook early-stage, whole-life and upfront embodied carbon assessments to eliminate waste and reduce the building’s whole carbon footprint. Sustainable materials have been used throughout Eden where possible, such as recycled steel for reinforcement.

This pioneering building is part of the £1bn, 50-acre Salford Central regeneration being delivered by our JV with Legal and General and Homes England, The English Cities Fund, in partnership with Salford City Council.
