The 19 and 25 storey buildings will transform the site of the former Littlewoods computer centre to provide 434 private rented homes alongside extensive resident amenities.

Demolition of the redundant computer centre is expected to start early next year with construction anticipated to commence in early 2027 and a main contractor yet to be appointed.

Edwina Coward, Development Manager for Packaged Living, said: “We’re excited to be bringing forward a landmark development at this prominent gateway site and we’re so pleased to be able to provide more homes and public realm for this great city.

“An extensive public consultation unlocked the wisdom of the Liverpool public and we were delighted at the quality of people’s ideas and observations about how we could improve the scheme and connectivity towards the new Bramley-Moore Dock stadium and everything in between. The outcome is very much a shared vision.”

Architect Adam Hall of Falconer Chester Hall said: “The buildings offer an elegant and confident entrance statement to the city’s commercial core in an area that delivers on the potential of clustering taller buildings.  The views north towards Everton’s new stadium, Blackpool Tower and the Lake District fells beyond will take some beating.”
