DeTrafford Construction’s first development tops out

DeTrafford has celebrated the topping out of St George’s Gardens in Castlefield, the first of its developments being built by its in-house construction team DeTrafford Construction.
This design-led tower has unrivalled views over the Grade II-listed St George’s Church in Castlefield.
It will have, when completed, 138 one- and two-bedroom homes over 11 floors with each apartment having its own private winter garden.
Residents will have access to a private rooftop bar, outdoor cinema and yoga space.
The Wilmslow-based developer said completion is due for May 2020.
The topping out of St George’s Gardens is a great milestone for the second development in DeTrafford’s Castlefield master plan following last year’s completion of the award-winning Roof Gardens.
Two further developments will be also be completed in 2020.
John Currie, head of construction, said: “St George’s Gardens is our first self-delivered construction project and one that we are most proud of.
“Not only is it ahead of programme, there is an exemplar health & safety record on the project with a real focus on quality assurance.
“I am extremely proud of the achievements on this project which is a testament to (project manager) Sean’s team and the entire supply chain whom have embraced our vision and culture.”
