Developer Cole Waterhouse has revealed plans for the redevelopment of a brownfield site on Trafford Wharf in Greater Manchester.
The mixed-use scheme at the former Hilti headquarters site off Victoria Place comprises 438 build-to-rent homes, 419 purpose-built student accommodation rooms and an education facility. The plans also include on-site amenities, flexible commercial facilities on the ground floor and public realm enhancements.
Damian Flood, chief executive at Cole, said: “Our vision for the former Hilti site is to create much-needed homes across a range of tenures and represents a multi-million-pound investment into Trafford with highly sustainable transport links.
“This would transform what is an ideally located brownfield site into a thriving neighbourhood which is within walking distance of the University of Salford Media City campus and is well connected to many of the university institutes across Manchester, Salford and Trafford.”
The site forms a part of the wider Trafford Wharfside Development Framework, which includes provision for as many as 5,000 new homes.
