So, Old Trafford in Greater Manchester is developing very fast. The former police headquarters for the police force has all hopes to turn into a new bustling neighborhood. An agreement has been signed to build 750 new homes on this 9.5-acre site. Also, a hotel will form part of the new development, along with shops, offices, and places for fun and leisure.

So, what is happening to the old Police Headquarters? This was the home of Greater Manchester Police before they relocated in 2012 to their new location in Newton Heath. The old site has been waiting for a new use since then. Now, thanks to a new plan, it’s going to be transformed into something really exciting for the community.

The massive transformation is being delivered by a company named Far East Consortium- FEC. This has been selected by choice to work with Trafford Council and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, GMCA, through an established selection process. Known for experience in delivering such big projects, they are quite raring to go ahead on these sites to unfold the big plethora.

The new development is something Trafford Council is proud of. Councillor Liz Patel, an elected member for the economy and regeneration in Trafford, will see 750 new homes built within the site. She is also proud to announce that a huge section of the new homes will be afforded. This, in turn, will give a better opportunity to people who cannot afford high rents to live in good places.

This is not just a home regeneration project; it is part of the much larger Civic Quarter Area Action Plan intending to make Old Trafford and Stretford even better places to live and visit. The new homes, hotel, shopping, and recreational facilities will make the area far more vibrant and pleasing to all.

The new development will also include wide spaces for rest and recreation. There will be shops where you would purchase whatever you require or just want to enjoy the window shopping. There will be offices where people can work. A new hotel will provide new accommodation for visitors, benefiting local business. The leisure facilities will offer fun for all age groups.

Gavin Taylor, who is the Managing Director at FEC Manchester, also expressed excitement on the project. He termed the former police headquarters as a “high-profile location, “which in other words means that the area is very critical, and many people have had a close observation on it. Taylor says that the community has been waiting to see the site put in good use, then, by all means, FEC plan to do big things with it. They want a place where people can live, work and enjoy themselves concurrently in the same locale.

This regeneration means far more than new buildings. It is to seek to make the new development not just functional but a place where people are happy and feel connected. By transforming an old police station into modern, useful space, the developers want to make Old Trafford a far better place to live and visit.

The project coincides with yet another important aspiration: the increasing need to provide affordable housing within the area. It contains a huge number of home affordable units, which the developers have tried to do in an effort to make sure more people find good-quality shelter without spending a lot of money. It is an important part of the plan since many areas are struggling to provide enough affordable options for people.

In a nutshell, the whole renovation that is going to be carried out on the Old Trafford police headquarters site is going to be really rejuvenating. The 750 new homes, hotels, dynamic shops, and leisure facilities will be turning the locality into a frenetic community space. In this regard, affordable housing gives assurance that the needs of everyone in this community are intended to be looked after. Indeed, this will prove to be a plus-point alteration for Old Trafford and will prove to be the greatest example of how old places get renovated for the benefit of all.
