The Shrewsbury Street project is an integral part of the wider Old Trafford Master Plan being led and delivered by Trafford Housing Trust in partnership with Trafford Council and the Homes and Communities Agency.
Stuart Belfield, operations director at Willmott Dixon’s housing company based in Manchester, said the development would complete in summer 2017 and be a catalyst for wider social cohesion and economic growth in Old Trafford.
Executive Member for Economic Growth and Planning, Councillor Michael Hyman, said: “The Council is delighted that it has been able to play its part in getting this project off the ground with the provision of the land on which to build the development, which itself is a great example of partners working together.
“We and the Trust are bringing facilities to promote health and wellbeing, as well as improved accommodation, and potentially employment and training opportunities.”
