The visionary developer is challenging traditional city centre Manchester housing schemes with a pioneering development creating exciting outdoor living space in the heart of the city. The Roof Gardens, One Ellesmere Street, is a beacon of urban regeneration providing 36 apartments and 45 townhouses for individuals and families, all featuring private roof gardens. With over 75% of the homes sold pre-build, DeTrafford has begun progressing the adjoining site. The Sky Gardens project is a unique 12 storey development of 168 apartments – comprising penthouses, triplex and duplex loft apartments – and featuring individual roof gardens and terraces. The scheme also provides an attractive tenth floor communal roof garden, complete with urban beehives and barbecue areas. This approach - augmented by an ambitious plan for a civic square with cafés and restaurants, an attractive residents’ reception lounge and entrepreneurs’ studios designed to facilitate business start-ups – showcases the company’s vision to create innovative residential and commercial solutions. DeTrafford’s ethical corporate growth and success is founded on its philosophy of placing the community and clients at the heart of its projects by creating dynamic and diverse civic spaces. This ethos is ingrained in the family-run company which has been specialising in property investment and development for over 35 years. Since 2007, the Group has utilised its own liquid, non-leveraged financial position to secure sites across the UK and North America with the potential to develop in excess of 2,000 residential units and continues to source further development opportunities. Today, DeTrafford is forging ahead buoyed by the strength and re-emergence of the UK and North American property market. Against this backdrop, DeTrafford is gearing up for two further schemes in Manchester. Located five miles from Manchester city centre, Elisabeth Gardens will provide stylish residential and communal space in the heart of the Houldsworth conservation area of Reddish and boasts stunning panoramic views across the golf course. While Victoria Mill will feature apartments, townhouses and mews houses alongside orchards, allotments and children’s play areas in the historic mill town of Droylsden - a short tram ride from the city centre. These schemes will release a combined total of 610 homes and offer an attractive investment opportunity for home owners and investors alike. Manchester’s renaissance is hallmarked by a rising international profile and population – quite simply, it’s the fastest growing city in the UK. The city’s thriving economy, shortage of property and high rental yields have combined to create a very favourable climate for investors – and demand continues to soar. The transformation of East Manchester is being given a shot in the arm with the state-of-the-art development of the Manchester City FC campus, just a heartbeat away from DeTrafford’s new Droylsden site. In addition to a £200 million football academy and football facilities, the scheme is breathing new life into the area with community benefits which feature a college and sports centre. DeTrafford’s singular vision, business philosophy and successful track record for delivering attractive investment opportunities has provided the platform for the next phase of its development, the formation of DeTrafford Global. The company’s expertise and experience will now be available on a wider stage with a specialist team of property developers and consultants equipped for the international investor market. DeTrafford Global can provide a bespoke service tomeet the needs of individual investors enabling their international clients to enjoy the emerging market. They offer a range of options that include off plan, off market and the potential for equity partner opportunities across the company’s growing portfolio in the UK and North America. www.detraffordglobal.ae ’ . i i i , t 2 5 5 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I
