King Street Square wil include spaces for market stalls and community events
A construction company has been appointed to undertake Stretford’s King Street transformation. Caddick Construction will carry out the first phase of the town centre’s wider £50million master plan after being appointed by joint-venture partners Trafford council and property company Bruntwood.
This work has already started on Chester Road, where Bruntwood and Trafford Council have introduced new shop fronts. The first stage of works will also include significant transformation to the existing multi-storey car park, including the ground floor where the space will be repurposed into flexible pop-up markets and a space for new businesses to test concepts and engage with the community. New surface parking and improved access will also be created to enhance flexibility and provide a more accessible and safer visitor experience.
With King Street’s construction now underway, plans for up to 800 new homes and substantial new green public open space are due to be submitted later this year. Andrea George, town centre and consumer brands director at Bruntwood, said: “Injecting life back into the heart of Stretford and creating a positive community-led culture that allows both businesses and residents to thrive is at the heart of our transformation of King Street. Our ambitious plans will redefine the purpose and value of the high street to encourage collaboration and create an inspiring backdrop for Stretford and its communities.
