624 sq ft 1 Beds & 732 sq ft 2 Beds** * **999-Year Lease** * **Parking Available – EV Ready** * **Target Completion Q4 2027** # THIS ISN'T JUST AN APARTMENT. IT'S A POSITION IN THE FUTURE OF TRAFFORD.
Introducing **One Trafford Edge** – 122 premium one and two-bedroom apartments occupying an outstanding position on Barton Road, Stretford, just **350 metres from The Trafford Centre**.
For an owner-occupier, this means living moments from one of the UK's largest retail and leisure destinations, with exceptional amenities, employment and transport connections surrounding you.
For an investor, the story is even bigger.
One Trafford Edge sits within an extraordinary concentration of **employment, tourism, sport, retail, leisure and regeneration** – creating multiple potential sources of rental demand rather than relying on one tenant demographic.
## WHO IS GOING TO RENT HERE? That's one of the most important questions any property investor should ask.
At One Trafford Edge, the potential tenant pool extends far beyond traditional city-centre renters.
### TRAFFORDCITY & TRAFFORD PARK PROFESSIONALS Trafford is a major employment destination in its own right.
TraffordCity currently supports approximately **17,500 jobs**, while the wider area benefits from one of Greater Manchester's most established concentrations of employment and commerce.
That creates potential demand from professionals who want to **live close to work without paying to live in Manchester city centre**, while retaining easy access to the wider city region.
The development's one and two-bedroom layouts are particularly suited to **young professionals, couples, corporate tenants and sharers** looking for modern accommodation with lifestyle facilities included.
### THE TRAFFORD CENTRE – 350 METRES AWAY Imagine telling a prospective tenant that one of the UK's best-known shopping, dining and entertainment destinations is approximately **350 metres from their front door**.
The Trafford Centre attracts around **30 million visits annually**, while TraffordCity as a whole generates approximately **44 million visits per year**.
For residents, that means shopping, restaurants, entertainment, leisure and employment virtually on the doorstep.
For investors considering short-term accommodation, it provides a substantial existing visitor economy alongside Trafford's sporting and leisure attractions.
## MANCHESTER UNITED'S PROPOSED £2BN NEW STADIUM Then there is Old Trafford.
Manchester United has confirmed its ambition to create a new **100,000-seat world-class stadium**, with the proposed stadium acting as the centrepiece of the wider regeneration of the Old Trafford area.
This isn't simply a proposal for another football ground.
The wider Old Trafford regeneration vision is intended to create an entirely new destination and neighbourhood around one of the world's most recognisable sporting institutions.
Current plans envisage approximately: **100,000-seat new Manchester United stadium** **15,000 new homes** **48,000 new local jobs** **370+ acres of regeneration** alongside new commercial, residential, leisure, public realm and visitor destinations.
For a purchaser at One Trafford Edge, this means buying into Trafford **while this transformation is still taking shape rather than after it has been delivered**.
## THE RENTAL DEMAND STORY The strength of One Trafford Edge is the diversity of people who could potentially want to stay or live here.
**Professional tenants** working across Trafford Park, TraffordCity, MediaCity and the wider Manchester employment market.
**Young professionals and couples** looking for a high-spec apartment with gym, wellness and co-working facilities without necessarily choosing Manchester city centre.
**Corporate tenants and contractors** working on major businesses, developments and infrastructure projects throughout Trafford.
**Media and creative professionals** working around nearby MediaCity, home to major broadcasting and digital businesses.
**Manchester United supporters and international visitors** travelling to Old Trafford and, in future, potentially the proposed new 100,000-seat stadium and surrounding destination.
**Trafford Centre visitors** coming to one of the country's most significant retail and leisure destinations.
**Leisure and event visitors** drawn to Trafford's growing collection of sporting, wellness, entertainment and visitor attractions.
**Relocating professionals** requiring flexible accommodation before committing to a permanent Manchester home.
This creates the potential for an investor to target either the **traditional residential market or the short-stay market**, subject to the purchaser's preferred strategy and applicable regulations.
# BUILT FOR THE MODERN RENTER The rental proposition doesn't stop at location. One Trafford Edge has been designed around the amenities increasingly expected from premium rental developments.
Residents will have access to their own: **Private Residents' Gym** A contemporary fitness facility with cardio, free weights and studio space.
**Wellness Suite** Including an **infrared sauna and cold-plunge facilities** – an amenity rarely found at this price point.
**Co-Working Lounge** Dedicated hot desks and meeting space allow residents to work from home without having to work from their apartment.
**Concierge & Security** Daytime concierge facilities combined with night security provide additional convenience and reassurance. For an owner-occupier, these are lifestyle amenities.
For a landlord, they are **tenant attraction and retention features** that help differentiate an apartment from ordinary rental stock. # TWO RENTAL STRATEGIES. ONE PROPERTY.
One Trafford Edge provides purchasers with flexibility.
### TRADITIONAL LONG-TERM LETTING The developer currently projects **gross long-let yields of approximately 6.8%–7.5%**, targeting the professional residential market surrounding Trafford and Greater Manchester.
### SHORT-TERM LETTING Unlike many residential developments, **short-term / Airbnb-style letting is permitted**, creating the opportunity to target Trafford's substantial visitor and corporate accommodation market.
Developer projections indicate potential **gross short-let yields of up to 14%**, depending upon apartment, occupancy, nightly rates, operating costs and management strategy.
This flexibility gives investors the ability to choose the strategy most appropriate to their objectives rather than purchasing into a development restricted exclusively to conventional AST letting.
# LIVE WHERE OTHER PEOPLE COME TO VISIT For owner-occupiers, One Trafford Edge offers something equally compelling. You aren't simply buying an apartment.
You're buying a lifestyle with **The Trafford Centre approximately 350 metres away**, outstanding leisure and entertainment on your doorstep and Manchester city centre within easy reach.
And inside the building, your gym, wellness suite, sauna, cold plunge and co-working facilities become an extension of your home.
The apartments themselves are generously proportioned, with typical accommodation extending to approximately: **One Bedroom – 624 sq ft** **Two Bedroom – 732 sq ft** Contemporary kitchens, integrated appliances, marble-effect surfaces, herringbone-style flooring and beautifully finished bathrooms complete the specification.
# BUY INTO TRAFFORD BEFORE THE NEXT CHAPTER IS COMPLETE Property investment is fundamentally about location.
But the most interesting locations aren't always the ones where everything has already happened. They're the ones where the next wave of investment is arriving.
One Trafford Edge combines an **existing employment base, an existing visitor economy and an established world-famous retail and leisure destination** with billions of pounds of proposed and committed regeneration surrounding it.
The Trafford Centre is already here. TraffordCity is already attracting tens of millions of visits. Thousands of people already work in the area. Manchester United is already here.
And now the next generation of Trafford is being planned around it.
**One Trafford Edge puts purchasers directly within that story.** ## DEVELOPMENT AT A GLANCE **122 Luxury Apartments** **30 × One Bedroom Apartments** **92 × Two Bedroom Apartments** **Prices From £188,000** **1 Beds Approx.
624 sq ft** **2 Beds Approx.
732 sq ft** **999-Year Lease** **Short-Term Lets Permitted** **Residents' Gym** **Infrared Sauna** **Cold Plunge** **Co-Working Lounge** **Daytime Concierge** **Night Security** **EV-Ready Parking Available** **Target Completion Q4 2027** **Projected Long-Let Gross Yield: 6.8%–7.5%** **Projected Short-Let Gross Yield: Up To 14%** # ONE HOME.
MULTIPLE REASONS TO BUY. **Live here. Rent it long-term. Target the professional market.
Or take advantage of the permitted short-stay opportunity.** Few developments at this price point combine this level of amenity with proximity to **The Trafford Centre, TraffordCity, Trafford Park, MediaCity and the extraordinary regeneration planned around Manchester United and Old Trafford.** **Enquire now to receive current availability, individual apartment pricing, floorplans, investment illustrations and the payment schedule.** *Rental yields, occupancy levels and capital growth figures are projections and are not guaranteed.
Manchester United's proposed new stadium and elements of the wider regeneration remain subject to the relevant development, planning, funding and delivery processes.
