Two new developments, Peel Land and Property’s Plaza 1821, being built for the Regenda Group, and Your Housing Group’s Hive City Docks, are set for Liverpool Waters after receiving planning permission.
The new developments will be located at Princes Dock, one of the five neighbourhoods at Liverpool Waters.
Plaza 1821 is a £21m private rental sector (PRS) development containing 105 one and two bedroom apartments which also has dedicated amenity space on the ground floor.
It is named after the year Princes Dock opened and is the first of its kind for Peel Land and Property. Plaza 1821 will be managed by Redwing Living, a Liverpool-based property company which is a subsidiary of the Regenda Group.
Neil Baumber, development director for residential at Peel Land and Property, said: “This is the first PRS project where Peel Land and Property will be acting as the developer of the new apartment project and we are excited and delighted to be working with Regenda. Our vision is to create a waterfront for the world, bringing life back to the historic docklands, and this announcement brings us closer to achieving that ambition.
“Plaza 1821 will be a high-quality development with spectacular views of the River Mersey and the surrounding waterfront. The focus now is on getting ready for the building works and ensuring we are on site as soon as possible.”
Hive City Docks will comprise of 31-storeys with 278 apartments, including amenities such as a restaurant on the top floor. The landmark waterfront tower represents a £55m investment and is expected to take two years to construct.
John Cogbill, chief operating officer at Your Housing Group, said: “Hive City Docks will be an iconic development which complements the spectacular setting. The building has been designed to meet the needs of today’s rental market with world class facilities including around the clock concierge services, in-apartment technologies and a premium rooftop restaurant.”
The landmark regeneration scheme is also expected to be the new home of Everton Football Club who are hoping to build a state of the art stadium at the Bramley Moore Dock.
Lindsey Ashworth, director of development at Liverpool Waters said: “Our vision has always been to create a waterfront to the world and these two residential towers will take us one step closer to achieving that. Both of these developments will deliver quality living space and places for people to enjoy the spectacular views on offer here.”
Peel L&P and The Regenda Group have confirmed that works are due to recommence back onsite at Plaza 1821 following Forrest Construction going into administration in December 2018. Peel L&P completed an agreement with Vermont Construction to resume construction works at the end of January 2019.
