Stamford Quarter Living
The Stamford Quarter is already a very attractive area for visitors and shoppers and now plans have been proposed by Bruntwood Works and Trafford Council to transform the Stamford Quarter into a mixed -use destination. To reshape the area by blending retail, leisure, commercial and residential space to encourage more people to come into the town centre and to live in the town centre.
The larger vacant units, for example that formerly occupied by Rackhams are proposed as commercial workspaces for retail and hospitality operators on the ground floor. Pop -Up shops for trialling new concepts on the high street as well as cafes and restaurants to complement the Stamford Quarters’ existing stores are being considered, and hoped to act as an anchor to draw people into the area and enhance the economy.
Existing high rise buildings such as Clarendon House which used to house the library and offices is proposed to be changed into a range of residential units and Sunningdale House to be used to create modular homes.
The recent regeneration efforts for many of Altrincham’s public spaces have benefitted the town and its residents and these latest plans are a continuation of this plan. They would transform Stamford Square into an attractive square that creates a new focal point and hub for families and the local community.
