Five tower blocks in Salford have been transformed.
Salix Homes worked with contractor Emanuel Whittaker on the £11m redevelopment in the Greengate area.
Greyfriar Court and Riverbank and Newbank Towers has just been finished and last year improvement work was completed at Whitefriar Court, and in summer 2013 the finishing touches were made to Blackfriar Court.
In total, 447 flats have been refurbished and fitted with new kitchens, bathrooms, doors, windows and heating systems.
Mark Foster, head of property services at Salix Homes, said: "This significant investment in the Greengate area of Salford has totally transformed these five landmark buildings into vibrant, modern homes fit for the 21st century.
"Salix Homes is committed to making a difference to our tenants' homes, lives and communities and this regeneration project is testament to that. These blocks form an iconic part of the Salford skyline and now they can stand proud for generations to come."
