Manchester-based Walker Sime continues its pivotal role as Project Managers for the transformative Stockport 8 regeneration scheme. This ambitious project aims to create a fully walkable neighbourhood, integrating a wide variety of homes, businesses, and public spaces, all within a lush, green environment that celebrates Stockport’s rich history. The scheme places the community at its core, with residents playing a vital role in shaping this forward-thinking development, which sets a new benchmark for town centre living.
Stockport 8 is a key element of Stockport Council's Town Centre Masterplan, focusing on the revitalisation of Brownfield land to create vibrant, sustainable living spaces. Undertaken as part of a joint venture between ECF and Stockport Borough Council, this regeneration effort aligns with the broader vision to reshape Stockport into a modern, thriving hub for business and community life. The Stockport 8 regeneration scheme showcases a forward-thinking approach to urban development while preserving the heritage and character of the area.
Working in close collaboration with Stockport 8 LLP, Walker Sime is providing comprehensive Project Management services, ensuring smooth operations from the project's inception through to its completion. From planning and design to construction and delivery, the Manchester-based team is guiding the project with precision and expertise.
Mark Parker, Director at Walker Sime, shared: "We are working as a true joint venture with transparency, openness, and a commitment to pushing the boundaries of connectivity, innovation, and environment. We have already begun engaging with the local community, including local school children, and are excited to continue collaborating with various groups as development progresses."
This is just one example of Walker Sime’s extensive experience in managing large-scale regeneration projects. The Manchester-based firm has also been involved in high-profile schemes such as Liverpool Waters, Birkenhead’s Dock Branch Park, Rochdale Town Centre, and Eureka!.
Walker Sime has offices in Manchester, Leeds and Liverpool and specialises in quantity surveying, project management, bills of quantities, construction design management, employers agent, regeneration delivery and infrastructure services.
