Insignia

in Greater Manchester

What is the location of the building?

Insignia finds itself at the heart of the Trafford Civic Quarter that lies within Old Trafford, an iconic urban centre in Greater Manchester that features an abundance of world-class amenities. First and foremost, the area is known for its renowned sports facilities. The new residential complex is cradled between the legendary Old Trafford Stadium and Old Trafford Cricket Ground, both of which can be reached in under 9 minutes by foot. Those who are not big fans of sports might be glad to know that the area bustles with vibrant cultural facilities, such as O2 Victoria Warehouse, Ordsall Hall, and IWM North.

The new development is surrounded by a wide array of green spaces, including Gorse Hill Park, Seymour Park, and Nansen Park. Residents of Insignia are spoilt for choice when it comes to leafy retreats, where they can enjoy an occasional stroll, a jog, or a friendly gathering. In addition, the residential complex is nestled right next to Manchester’s canal network, providing plenty of waterside footpaths to amble along while soaking up beautiful sceneries.

The presence of the legendary stadium nearby ensures excellent connectivity. Insignia benefits from close proximity to Metrolink and railway services, including Old Trafford Tram Stop and Manchester United Football Ground Railway Station that can be reached in less than 10 minutes, providing easy access to the rest of the city and beyond.
