At Amstone, we have always believed that Build to Rent is more than just delivering homes, but about creating places with identity and purpose that contribute positively into the existing community. Places that feel rooted in their surroundings. Places that contribute to the life of a town, rather than simply occupying space.
Over the past few years, Stockport has undergone one of the most compelling transformations in the North West, having evolved itself into a more thriving and independent community. The market hall has become a cultural anchor, local businesses have flourished and the town’s creative, earthy character has begun to shine through.
Our vision to contribute to this was made to strengthen Stockport – Our no.1 Knightsbridge development is our commitment to that future.
Introducing No.1 Knightsbridge
Located on a former Sainsbury’s retail site close to the iconic historic Market Hall, No.1 Knightsbridge will deliver 588 new homes across a multi‑phase masterplan. The first phase is 484 apartments across two buildings, and construction is set to begin onsite in early 2027, following the appointment of building contractor Keadys Construction, who will be delivering their first major construction project in Greater Manchester.
This development represents a significant opportunity to bring high‑quality, best‑in‑class Build to Rent to Stockport, while also offering Build to Sell homes that broaden the town’s residential offer.
The site sits at a pivotal point in the town centre, connecting Mersey way, Redrock, The Peel Retail Park, the Market Square, and the emerging leisure and cultural quarter. It also marks the symbolic beginning of the River Mersey, a historic moment in the landscape that we are proud to celebrate through the creation of a new riverside walkway and accessible green public realm.
The town’s resurgence has been driven by people who value authenticity; residents who want independent cafés, creative spaces, and neighbourhoods with personality. Our aim is to build a development that not only fits into this culture but actively contributes to it.
No.1 Knightsbridge is being designed with this ethos at its core, incorporating a rooftop running track that offers panoramic views across Stockport, the potential for a padel court to support one of the UK’s fastest‑growing sports, and a thoughtful mix of uses that encourage interaction, champion local independents and bring fresh energy into the area.
Stockport is attracting new residents, new businesses and sustained investment, supported by major transport improvements, a flourishing creative scene and a strong sense of local pride that has helped position the town as one of the most desirable places to live in Greater Manchester.
No.1 Knightsbridge will play a meaningful role in supporting this momentum by bringing high‑quality homes into the heart of the town centre, increasing footfall for local businesses, enhancing public spaces and improving connectivity around the river, while helping to retain and attract talent within the borough.
Our ambition is to deliver a development that strengthens Stockport’s long‑term regeneration strategy and contributes positively to the town’s continued growth and success.
