Peel L&P and Your Housing Group (YHG) have been working with main contractor Vermont on progressing the scheme which will contain 278 homes.

It marks the fifth residential development at Princes Dock – one of five neighbourhoods at the Liverpool’s waterfront development.

Liverpool Waters is  transforming 60 hectares of historic docklands and is the biggest single regeneration project in the city’s history.

Darran Lawless, development director at Peel L&P’s Liverpool Waters said: “It’s fantastic to have reached this significant milestone, after a huge amount of work in collaboration with Your Housing Group, our advisory team and contractor Vermont, that has gone  into securing  planning consent.

“We’re delighted with the progress  made across Liverpool Waters and this is yet another incredible residential development, adding to the existing schemes delivered at Princes Dock creating more quality homes, securing local jobs and investment in an enviable waterfront location, right here in Liverpool city centre.”

Lorraine Donnelly, development director at Your Housing Group added: “This is a really exciting project for YHG. To have a development on the iconic Liverpool waterfront offering high-quality apartments with incredible views of the Mersey is something that we are extremely proud to be part of.

“We can’t wait to get started on site.”

The residential development has been designed by Faulkner Chester Hall, with Arup providing planning consultation and Vermont in line to build the project.
