en.Wedoany.com Reported - Urban regeneration specialist Cityheart has appointed independent property solutions partner Centrick to provide property management, leasing, and build-to-rent operational services for its landmark £140 million mixed-use regeneration project, Stopford Park, in the heart of Stockport.
The appointment, following a competitive selection process, marks a new phase for the project, bolstering momentum as Stopford Park progresses towards completion.
Cityheart chose Centrick not only for its residential management expertise but also because both parties believe successful developments should be built around authentic, connected communities.
Centrick will manage the Stopford Park neighborhood and its public art park, provide support to residents, and oversee building management at Bosden, while operating the build-to-rent homes at Torkington and Lyme. Residents will begin moving into Torkington in early 2027.
Located on Greek Street, Stopford Park is a key component of Town Centre West. This 130-acre regeneration area is being delivered by the Stockport Mayoral Development Corporation as part of a broader £1 billion investment plan.
The project will deliver 442 new homes across three modern residential buildings, complemented by a public art park. Meanwhile, the historic Grade II listed building Cheers & Smith will be restored and transformed into co-working space.
Cityheart sought an operational partner that understood the unique character of Stopford Park and Stockport, aiming to create a seamless experience for both rental and owner-occupier residents, ensuring everyone feels part of the same community.
The Centrick on-site team will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the neighborhood, creating a welcoming environment for residents and visitors. They will also work with Cityheart on resident engagement and community activities to foster a sense of belonging.
Centrick manages over 30,000 homes across the UK, with extensive experience in residential management, building safety, asset management, and customer service. Cityheart stated that its people-focused approach and commitment to building communities made it a standout choice.
Penny Langton, Marketing Director at Cityheart, said that throughout the selection process, Centrick shared their appreciation for Stockport's strong sense of community, character, and ambition, with both parties committed to creating homes where people can put down roots.
Phil Johns, Managing Director at Centrick, said Stopford Park demonstrates what urban regeneration can achieve when vision aligns with execution, and expressed pride in partnering with Cityheart to build a true community.
Construction at Stopford Park is progressing well, with the first homes expected to welcome residents this year. Apartments at Bosden are now available for sale, and build-to-rent homes are expected to be available for rent from the first quarter of 2026.
