Trafford Gardens reached a major milestone this month, with a topping out ceremony held to mark the completion of the building’s highest point.
The scheme is a prime residential development in Manchester, with the first phase completing May 2025 and second phase completing Autumn 2025. Located off Talbot Road, Trafford Gardens will provide 149 one, two and three-bedroom apartments accompanied by a range of amenities for residents to enjoy, including a rooftop garden and private courtyards. It benefits from an excellent location close to transport networks and just two miles from the city centre.
The project was revived in October 2023 following the collapse of the previous developer, Investar, with Linear Living assuming ownership of the site. Linear Design and Construct, part of Linear UK Group, is now principal contractor on the development. It has successfully moved the scheme forward alongside funding partner Maslow Capital.
The development is an excellent example of partnership, with collaboration between the developer and funding partner plus Trafford Council and Greater Manchester Combined Authority’s Brownfield Land Fund transforming the site to deliver much-needed new homes.
We’re pleased to be able to contribute to the delivery of this exciting new scheme as project manager and advisor.
Ilyas Patel, Director at Russell Bolton Consulting, said: “Trafford Gardens has utilised the breadth of our expertise and experience, from advising on the takeover from the previous owners, to helping secure funding, and then ensuring the project is delivered on schedule. To reach the point of topping out is great to see and we look forward to delivering the project in full next year.”
