“Creating new homes to the quality that has been achieved in the White Lion is vital to establish the town centre as a location of choice in South Manchester, and breathes new life in to what was formerly a disused building. This helps first time buyers to get on the property ladder by providing subsidised rent and enabling them to save funds to buy their home.Ĭllr David Meller, Cabinet Member for Economy and Regeneration at Stockport Council, said: “The completion of the White Lion is another exciting project contributing to Stockport’s vibrancy and complements our ambitious plans for the town centre like investment in the Underbanks, improvements to Merseyway shopping centre and the new transport interchange. The apartments have proved to be extremely popular and are now all occupied (as of 25 January 2020) under the rent to buy scheme. The White Lion, a Grade II listed building on Great Underbank in Stockport, is now home to eleven one and two bedroomed apartments, thanks to a £2.4m investment by Trafford Housing Trust (part of L&Q) under the Laurus Homes brand, in partnership with Stockport Council. One of Greater Manchester’s most historic pubs, which had been derelict for more than ten years, has been transformed into luxury apartments.
