Law firm TLT has become the first to sign up to landmark £36m building which is considered one of the most sustainable in the UK.
The Bristol-headquartered firm has taken the two two floors at Eden, a 12-storey office building being completed in Salford.
The 115,000 sq ft development is being led by The English Cities Fund, a joint venture between Muse, Legal & General and Homes England.

Designed by Make Architects, Eden will have the capability to run on 100% renewable electricity once completed.
The building’s living wall, thought to be Europe's largest, will be adorned with 350,000 plants that are were grown off-site and will also feature bug hotels, bird nesting boxes and feeders.
ECF director Phil Mayall said: "Eden has been designed for communities and companies that place sustainability at their hearts.
"TLT’s decision to relocate to Eden reflects its values, as well as Salford’s track record in innovation and creativity and is a ringing endorsement of our collective approach.
"As a business, we’re committed to building a brighter and kinder future for the next generation, and we can’t wait to welcome TLT to Eden when it completes.
"This place-changing building has been designed to push the envelope in terms of sustainable regeneration and highlight what can be achieved when like-minded partners work together to deliver something truly special for the benefit of everyone."
Graeme Orchison, partner and location head for TLT in Manchester, added: "This exciting move is part of TLT’s ongoing commitment to investing in Manchester which has played a key role in the firm’s growth trajectory over the last decade.
"It also represents our commitment to sustainability and a people-first culture where employees have the space and support to produce their best work.
"Our values are very much reflected in Eden’s ground-breaking approach that is leading the way for future workplaces that are both better for our people and the planet."
TLT won Law Firm of the Year at the Manchester Legal Awards in 2022 and posted a record turnover of £144m for its most recent financial year.
