The 563-apartment No1 Knightsbridge, the largest single residential project in the town’s development pipeline, is in line for approval when the local council’s Central Stockport Area Committee meets on Thursday.
Amstone Ventures lodged plans to redevelop the former Sainsbury’s store off Warren Street late last year.
Now, the Leach Rhodes Walker-designed development is primed to clear the first of two planning hurdles.
If the area committee gives the build-to-rent project the green light this week, the scheme will then progress to full planning committee next month with a recommendation for approval.
Amstone’s project would see the demolition of the former supermarket and the construction of three residential blocks of seven, 10 and 15 storeys.
A total of 238 one-bedroom apartments are proposed, while 266 would have two bedrooms. The remaining homes would be a mix of three-bedroom townhouses and apartments.
Amstone bought the 3.3-acre site from Sainsbury’s in March 2021. The firm also developed the 614-home Clippers Quay in Salford for Grainger plc.
No1 Knightsbridge is one of several large residential schemes progressing in Stockport.
Others include Capital & Centric’s Weir Mill, Investor’s Royal George Villageand the 196-home build-to-rent scheme at Stockport Interchange.
Stockport Council is also on the hunt for a development partner to deliver 1,200 homes on an eight-acre plot west of the former bus station.
