It was designed by OMI Architects, developed by Renaker and is part of a major redevelopment of the Greengate area.[2] The 44-storey tower includes a lower elevation clad with aluminium panels reaching 16 storeys. The main tower is covered with reflective metal panels set behind the glass.
The site is bounded by Trinity Way to the north, and Greengate to the south.
History
Construction of the building started in May 2016 and it was topped out in March 2018.[3]
The building is named after a specific section of the River Irwell and a 1960s engineering project that straightened a snake-like bend in the river to prevent flooding in Salford. The name also serves as a tribute to the Anaconda Copper Works, which formerly occupied the site.[4]
