'Milestone' for Stockport Underbanks as 50 new Churchgate homes near completion
Fifty new apartments in Stockport town centre are nearing completion.
The homes are a mix of one- and two-bed properties sited along Churchgate, opposite St Mary's Church.
All the homes have sold, in what Stockport Council describes as "underlining strong demand for well-designed homes in one of Greater Manchester's most exciting neighbourhoods".
The development is 'car-free', but has cycle storage. It also includes a rooftop terrace, a residents' park, and a 'pocket park' adjacent to the Churchgate car park.
A Stockport Council spokesperson added that the development "reinforces the Underbanks' growing reputation as a destination for independent businesses, creative talent and modern urban living".
It's being developed by Hall & Co, which has been working on four similar schemes across the town centre, including the conversion of Bank Chambers.
Cllr Mark Hunter, Leader of Stockport Council, said: "This is exactly the kind of development that shows how far Stockport has come - high-quality homes, thoughtfully designed, and right at the heart of our historic town centre.
"The transformation of the Underbanks is a real success story, and we're proud to be working with partners like Hall & Co to bring more life, more people, and more opportunity back into this unique part of Stockport.
"It's another important step in our wider regeneration plans - building a town centre that works for everyone and has a confident, sustainable future, as we continue to deliver the UK's largest town centre regeneration."
Jamie Hall, Development Director at Hall & Co, said: "We are immensely proud of the delivery of St Mary's Gate.
"The quality and finish is a testament to great design and hard work from both our construction team and Ollier Smurthwaite Architects. We couldn't be more excited that by the end of May over 100 new people will be living in Stockport Old Town, which will provide a boost to the local economy.
"We are currently in the middle of construction of Albion and pre-construction on Coopers Brow, with both schemes set to be complete within the next 14 months.
"We plan to and are delighted that we can continue to play a small, but significant role in the re-generation of Stockport Town Centre."
