The Carlyle Group and Abstract Nikal have submitted plans for a mixed use development on the 3.4ha former Colgate Palmolive factory at Ivy Wharf site in Salford.
The plans envisage 37,000m² of office space in the former factory, now renamed Soapworks, plus ancillary consumer facilities which might include retail, gym and restaurants.
Outline consent is also being sought for the wider site for a 200-bed hotel, retail, residential and office space.
"This project provides us with the opportunity to regenerate a waterfront site along Ordsall Lane, making it a strategically important site for the wider area," said Nikal managing director Nick Payne.
"We have designed a scheme that will cater for a broad range of tenant requirements, but will specifically target those occupiers who want to occupy an iconic building that offers high quality space at an affordable price."
The site is one of the largest regeneration sites in Salford and is close to Media City and next to the Exchange Quay development.
