en.Wedoany.com Reported - The UK's Pearson Square affordable housing project, located within the master-planned Trafford Waters area, has now reached practical completion. This affordable housing project, constructed by contractor Rowlinson starting in September 2023, was built at a cost of £14 million, with £5.8 million spent on suppliers within a 10.5-mile radius of the site.

Pearson Square comprises two brick apartment buildings, providing 83 apartments, including 52 one-bedroom homes and 31 two-bedroom homes, designed by IBI. The affordable housing project offers a rent-to-buy option and is managed by housing association L&Q. The buildings are gas-free, utilizing air source heat pumps and solar panels. An external community garden features 68 newly planted trees.

Neil Davies, Delivery Director at L&Q, said: "This is a hugely important development – for the area, for Trafford, and for L&Q. We are proud to have delivered a high-quality, 100% affordable scheme for Trafford, providing a pathway to home ownership, and we look forward to welcoming the first residents very soon."

David Chilton, CEO of Rowlinson, added: "This high-quality, 100% affordable scheme, situated in the emerging Trafford Waters development, is a real win for the community. It reflects our partners' shared commitment to delivering quality-led, turnkey affordable housing that supports residents' financial stability in these challenging economic times. We eagerly anticipate seeing this development come to life as new residents move in."

The Trafford Waters project has a total investment of £1 billion, planning for 3,000 homes, over 100,000 square feet of amenity space, 850,000 square feet of office space, a primary school, and 20 acres of open space. Pearson Square is the first project within the masterplan to offer discounted homes.

James Whitaker, Managing Director of Peel Waters, said: "[Pearson Square] is naturally located adjacent to the neighboring care home, demonstrating how different types of housing can work together to support a balanced, multigenerational community. By delivering high-quality, affordable homes at an early stage, we have set the tone for Trafford Waters to be a community where people can put down roots at every stage of life, while benefiting from long-term investment and placemaking ambitions for the area."
