Centrick is pleased to announce its appointment as managing agent for Trafford Gardens, a newly completed residential development located on Talbot Road in Manchester (M16), at the heart of one of the UK’s most ambitious regeneration zones.

Trafford Gardens forms part of the wider Trafford regeneration area, which is rapidly evolving into a vibrant residential hub, supported by excellent new tram links providing easy access into Manchester city centre. The development also benefits from its proximity to one of the UK’s most iconic sporting destinations, with Old Trafford and Lancashire County Cricket Club nearby - both internationally recognised venues that contribute to the area’s unique character and appeal.

The scheme comprises two private residential blocks totalling 116 units, alongside a separate social housing block delivering an additional 37 homes. Developed by Linear Living Ltd., a Glasgow and Altrincham-based developer, Trafford Gardens represents the company’s first significant residential scheme in Manchester.

Centrick has been involved with Trafford Gardens over the past year in an interim capacity, contributing to the coordination and delivery of the development. Full management responsibilities will formally commence in mid-April, following the successful sale of all units.

Alistair Johnston, Construction Director at Linear Living Ltd., commented:
“We are delighted to be working with Centrick at Trafford Gardens. Their early involvement in the development has ensured a smooth transition into management, and we are confident their expertise will support the long-term success of the scheme and the experience of our residents.”

Charles Lucas, Group New Business Director at Centrick, added:
“We have been heavily involved in the set-up and delivery of Trafford Gardens over the last year, and are absolutely thrilled to be working with Linear Living and their customers on their first significant Manchester new-build residential scheme. The location, internal design, and fit-out set a high but affordable bar for this evolving district.”

Trafford Gardens reflects the ongoing growth and transformation of the Trafford area, providing high-quality, accessible living in a well-connected and culturally vibrant part of the city. Centrick is proud to play a role in building a dynamic new community while expanding its northern portfolio, supported by its dedicated Manchester team and office.
