/ Brief

A long-term
BTR address,
on the water.

[Directors to rewrite naturally. Phase one of a larger build-to-rent scheme at Peel's Trafford Waters masterplan. Designed for long-tenancy quality, not turnover.]

[Engineering brief — BTR demands maintainability over decades, predictable running costs for the operator, and resident comfort that doesn't degrade through service life. That shapes every decision upstream.]

[Continuation — masterplan context, Peel relationship, infrastructure interfaces with the wider waters development.]

[Masterplan / site context — replace with directors' images.]
[BTR amenity space — replace with project images.]
/ Engineering

Designed to
operate well,
for decades.

[Directors to rewrite naturally. Full MEP design and modelling, in collaboration with LRW and Bridgestone, working into Peel's masterplan infrastructure.]

M

Mechanical

[Heat strategy for BTR — operator cost, resident comfort, low maintenance. Heat pump / heat network choice.]

E

Electrical

[LV distribution, sub-metering for operator billing, lighting, EV-ready infrastructure.]

P

Public Health

[Drainage and water services. Interface with masterplan SuDS / utility corridors.]

S

Sustainability

[Net-zero pathway for long-tenure BTR — operator running cost, resident comfort over decades, carbon footprint against the masterplan's sustainability obligations.]

[Full-width image — replace with director-supplied render / drawing / AI-enhanced site photo.]
/ Outcome

Phase one,
under way.

[Directors to rewrite naturally. Construction milestones. Peel relationship. Outlook for subsequent phases.]
