Altrincham Set for Multimillion Pound Make Over

Altrincham, Trafford is all set to launch a redevelopment programme that will take it to the top tier of towns its size. The Trafford Metropolitan Borough Council and developers David McLean Nikal have cleared the way for the project with the signing of an agreement for the £150M Altair Development.

The Altair project takes its name from Altair, the brightest star in the Aquila constellation, and according to Susan Williams, leader of the council, the agreement means that the developers can now go ahead and submit planning applications that will set the project on course for a 2009 start. She indicated that the project was expected to re-launch Altrincham as a modern, vibrant exciting town centre.

Scheduled for completion in 2012, Altair will feature a modern glassed complex that will be home to a state of the art ice rink, a hotel, select shops and restaurants.

Speaking on behalf of the developers Nick Payne said signing of the agreement has secured the missing piece of ‘this fantastic, inspiring town centre jigsaw.’
