Wates To Build Extra Care Development

Wates Living Space has been appointed to build a new 71-unit extra care development for Trafford Housing Trust in Sale, Manchester.

The affordable housing contractor will soon begin construction of the new 8,000 square meter development having erected hoardings around the site’s perimeter and undertaking preliminary ground works.

Alongside the one and two-bedroom homes, facilities at the development will include a number of internal and external communal areas, a hair and nail bar, resident lounges, an activity room and Internet café.

The development is due for completion in March 2014 with tenants expected to take residence in early 2014.

Graeme Scott, Head of Investment and Regeneration at Trafford Housing Trust, commented: "We are pleased to be building our largest and most prestigious development in partnership with Wates Living Space. The scheme will consist of 71 contained apartments – 49 for rent and 22 for shared ownership. The building will have a restaurant, hairdressers, wellbeing suites, hobby and activity rooms and lounge and these communal spaces will be open to the local community to come and visit and enjoy. The scheme will also have off road parking and will be surrounded by landscaped gardens. We are hoping to officially open the scheme in 2014."
