Salboy is to deliver the £300m scheme’s 40-storey residential tower in Manchester alone, but the future of the 240,000 sq ft office element, which Ask Real Estate was overseeing, is uncertain.
The vehicle behind the 375-apartment Viadux – Ask Capital – has changed its name to Salboy Capital, and Ask directors John Hughes and Jonathan Cross have resigned, according to documents filed with Companies House.
The three remaining directors are Salboy’s co-founder Fred Done, and managing director Simon Ismail, alongside Lee McCarren, managing director of Domis Property Group, Salboy’s construction arm.
The 50:50 joint venture was formed in January 2020 to deliver the SimpsonHaugh-designed scheme on the site of the former Bauer Millet unit off Albion Street, close to Manchester Central Convention Complex.

Monday
It might be 2021, but the year and my typical Monday starts in a similar fashion to that of a 2020 Monday as we continue to navigate our way through another lockdown. However, this time round we’re all geared up for working life at home, any challenges likely to head our way, and a week of Zooms, Teams, Google Meets, Skype or anything digitally viable.

Phumelela ‘winds up business’ as it delists from JSE Share
Phumelela Gaming and Leisure Group will delist from the
Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) in early 2021 as the company is broken up to repay creditors.
The heritage racing operator has faced financial difficulties for a number of months, following the forced closure of its racetrack venues due to South African coronavirus restrictions in May.
Johannesburg’s High Court had placed Phumelela assets under bankruptcy protection, allowing the company to seek investors to avoid outright liquidation – a decision that saw
Fred Done bid for the firm’s distressed assets.
Rejecting external funding, the board of directors introduced a ‘business rescue’ plan, suspending the trading of its shares on the JSE, as it sought to save the company from bankruptcy.
