Cityheart has partnered with Oak Construction Projects of Stockport to deliver the first phase of Stopford Park, its 442-apartment scheme on Greek Street and Wellington Road in the town centre.

Construction work will start this month on Bosden, the first of three residential buildings at Stopford Park. Bosden will provide 62 one and two bedroom homes for sale within a new neighbourhood community and landscaped public realm in the heart of the town.

Alongside Bosden will be the Torkington with a further 122 apartments, and a 16-storey building called Lyme which comprises 258 apartments.

The three-acre site on Wellington Road and Greek Street is being delivered by Cityheart, the development team behind Stockport’s multi-award-winning Interchange.

The former Metropolitan Girls’ School on Greek Street will also be converted into a collaborative flex workspace for local businesses.

Commenting on being appointed as main contractor on Stopford Park Richard Stanton from Oak Construction Projects said: “Being a Stockport based contractor we are especially pleased to have been appointed as Cityheart’s construction partner for Bosden. We will be working with our network of locally based subcontractors to deliver 62 much needed residential units on this high-profile site in central Stockport.”

Greg Ball, development director from Cityheart added: “We’ve been undertaking preparation work since acquiring the site last year and it is great to now appoint Oak Construction as our construction partner for Bosden. 2025 will be an exciting year as we start to see the first of these new homes come forward for sale in the heart of Stockport which has undergone such an incredible transformation in recent years.”

He added: “Stopford Park is a new place for a community to live, work and socialise. We are building high quality homes and flex workspace, all connected by new landscaped gardens and art park for all to enjoy.”

It is expected that work will also start imminently on the two further residential buildings and  Stopford Park will be completed by the end of 2027. The first homes will be available to reserve off plan from Spring 2025.
