Plans revealed for former Kellogg’s factory

Developer Bruntwood Works and Trafford Council have revealed plans to transform the former Kellogg’s site in Old Trafford, Stretford into a vibrant new neighbourhood.

Known as Lumina Village, the 12-acre site will be transformed into a community of 750 homes, 18,500m² of office space, a primary school and 100-bedroom hotel.

The Lumina Village name was settled upon after close consultation with local stakeholders. A lumen is a measurement of light – a nod to the optimism that surrounds the area – and was inspired by the site’s history and the future of the neighbourhood.

The site is opposite Old Trafford Cricket Ground and forms part of Trafford Council’s wider Civic Quarter masterplan. The architect for the development is Feilden Clegg Bradley, Planit IE is the landscape architect and planning support was provided by Avison Young.

Andrea George, Regional Director of Town Centres at Bruntwood Works, said: “Lumina Village will be a mixed-use neighbourhood that combines the heritage and history of the area with the needs of the modern resident, worker, student and school pupil.

“We’re committed to supporting the wider ecosystem of the towns and cities we operate in – Lumina Village will future-proof the area with the highest-standard housing and education facilities surrounded by a thriving commercial offering, catering to the needs of every generation in the community.

Cllr Andrew Western, Leader of Trafford Council, said: “This exciting development on the iconic former Kellogg’s site will provide much-needed quality housing, an excellent primary school, offices and a superb hotel. It will totally transform the area and create a fantastic place for people who live and work there. This development fully supports the Council’s Corporate priorities of creating quality and affordable housing and successful and thriving places.”
