It is claimed to be one of the largest developments within the 130-acre Town Centre West master plan and is central to the MDC’s goal of transforming the area.

The development will reconnect the area to the Town Centre and create a walkable, integrated community beneath the railway arches.

Stockport MDC CEO and Stockport Council deputy CEO Paul Richards said: “Stockport 8 is a cornerstone of our plans for Town Centre West, and reaching this milestone is a significant step forward in delivering our vision for a thriving, sustainable town centre.

“Stockport 8, it’s fantastic to see momentum building for the regeneration of the area as a whole, with a number of exciting developments now progressing at speed and 1,200 new homes already completed or under construction.” 

The project proposes a green neighbourhood, offering a variety of housing options for both new and existing homeowners and tenants.

Stockport 8 is expected to contribute to the £1bn investment in the town’s centre.
