Planners have nodded through developer Cole Waterhouse’s £200m Trafford Wharf scheme to build rental flats and student rooms in three blocks as the former Hilti headquarters site in Stretford.
The two-acre plot will see the delivery of two build-to-rent towers rising 17 and 23 storeys, containing 382 flats. A third 6–8 storey U-shaped block will provide student housing with 419 beds.
A new 24,100 sq ft academic facility is also part of the mix.

Designed by Chapman Taylor, the development sits within Trafford Council’s Wharfside regeneration zone, earmarked for up to 5,000 homes and a new Manchester United stadium.
Simon Gallanders, managing director of Cole Waterhouse residential, said the project will transform a brownfield site into a thriving new community while helping to ease Trafford’s affordable housing shortage.
Project team: TSA Riley (project manager), Russell Bolton Consulting (QS/cost consultant), XO Square (structural engineers), Watt WECE (M&E engineers).
