Plans for Retrofit of Circle Court in Stretford Advance

An SPV managed by the owners of HSPG has submitted plans to Trafford Council for the refurbishment of Circle Court, a 16-storey building in Stretford, which was acquired for £4.6 million last year. The project aims to create 30 one-bedroom and 92 two-bedroom apartments, branded as One Trafford Edge, and will include a gym with modern amenities such as an infrared sauna and cold plunge pool.

The updated facade will feature copper rainscreen cladding to enhance both aesthetics and thermal efficiency. The development targets buy-to-let investors, with advertised yields up to 16% and deposits of £36,700. The inclusion of ground floor amenities like a parcel room and changing facilities aligns with current residential trends, potentially increasing the property's market appeal.
