Progressive Living and Picture This have submitted a planning application for a £70m build-to-rent development in Stockport town centre.

The project, which includes the demolition of Victoria House, will be developed by Progressive Living and operated by Picture This.
The planning application has been submitted by Euan Kellie Property Solutions. If approved, work is expected to begin in the summer, with completion anticipated by June 2027.
David Fairclough, director at Progressive Living, said: “We committed to Stockport six years ago, purchasing Victoria House with a clear vision of the town’s potential as a vibrant place to live and invest. After collaborating with the council to integrate the two sites, we are excited to play a key role in Stockport’s growth story and its continued economic success.”
Shannon Conway, co-founder of Picture This, added: “Delivering a customer-focused design was essential to ensure we bring the right homes to Stockport town centre. This scheme reflects extensive market research, community engagement, resident feedback and input from an external design review panel.”
Colin MacAlister, cabinet member for economy, regeneration and housing at Stockport Council, said: “It’s great news to see this development moving forward, with plans to transform an underused car park into much-needed, high-quality homes right in the heart of Stockport.
“Over the next decade, Stockport will set new standards for town centre living, with modern housing, improved transport links and new public spaces, raising the bar for what people can expect from town centre living.”
