100 Greengate (known as Anaconda Cut and during development known as Exchange Court) is a residential high-rise building in Salford, Greater Manchester, England, with a height of 131 metres (430 ft). As of September 2025, it is the second-tallest building in Salford after the 153-metre (502 ft) tall Cortland at Colliers Yard and the 12th-tallest building in Greater Manchester.[1]

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]
