History
Planning
The original planning application[4] was submitted to Salford City Council in February 2016 for 318 apartments.[5] Planning approval was granted in July 2016.[6] In June 2020, an application for an additional 14 apartments was submitted to the council, bringing the total to 332.[7] Approval for the amendment was granted in September 2020.
Construction
Construction of Affinity Living Riverview began in 2017 with contractor Carillion,[8] but work halted following the company's liquidation in January 2018.[9] The project remained stalled until replacement contractor Sir Robert McAlpine resumed work in September 2018,[10] and the tower was completed in 2021.[11][12]
Affinity Living Riverview is located next to Affinity Living Riverside, a 17-storey residential building with 190 apartments, which was also completed by contractor Sir Robert McAlpine in December 2019.[11]

Affinity Living Riverview contains a range of communal facilities, including a co-working lounge, a gym, a coffee lounge, and several social areas. These amenities are situated on the building's ground and mezzanine floors.[2]
