Home to some of Europe's greenest buildings
Eden – New Bailey
Pioneering green office space Eden stands as the green gateway to the New Bailey Business district with the largest living wall in Europe housing 350,000 plants, consisting of 32 different species and is net zero in operation.
Eden is the UK’s first commercial office to achieve a 5.5 star NABERS UK sustainability rating and is one of the most environmentally sustainable buildings in the UK, with a BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ and EPC ‘A’ Rating, all helping running costs to be 60% cheaper than a traditional office.
The building, delivered by ECF – the partnership between MUSE, Legal and General and Homes England – sits within the wider Salford Central masterplan and has attracted tenants including law firm TLT and Accountancy firm BDO, who together host over 600 staff in this stunning setting, supporting their ESG credentials.
Simon Wyatt, partner, Cundall, and member of the UK Green Building Council's Member's Advisory Committee, said: “Eden is truly ground-breaking in the world of construction – ECF has been innovative in the truest sense in how it has gone about reducing the carbon impact of the build and the building’s eventual operational performance. What this means for occupants and investors is greater ROI – a happier, healthier, and higher performing workforce and work environment, reduced energy consumption, ESG targets hit and so forth… it is a win/win for all involved.”
