- 2024-11-01 14:26
Liverpool Waters, the city’s £5 billion waterfront regeneration project, has received a £56 million boost to build more than 300 new homes on a brownfield site.
The funding has been provided by Homes England, the government’s housing agency, and will be used to develop the “Central Dock” site, which is located next to the city’s iconic Three Graces.
The new homes will be a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments and townhouses, and will be available for a range of tenures, including affordable rent and shared ownership.
The development will also include new public open space, a children’s play area and a community centre.
Work on the site is expected to start in early 2025 and the first homes are due to be completed by the end of 2026.
Liverpool Waters is one of the largest regeneration projects in the UK and is expected to create thousands of new jobs and homes in the city.
The brownfield site, which has been used for industrial purposes in the past, is 10.5 acres and is part of the wider Liverpool Waters development, which stretches from the city center to the River Mersey.
The project is being developed by Peel L&P, a leading property and infrastructure company.
Steve Rotheram, Mayor of the Liverpool City Region, said: “This is a major investment in Liverpool’s future and will help us to create a thriving and sustainable city for everyone.
“Liverpool Waters is a key part of our regeneration plans and will create thousands of new jobs and homes. I am delighted that Homes England has recognized the potential of this site and is supporting us to deliver this ambitious project.”
Peter Freeman, Peel L&P’s Director of Development for Liverpool Waters, said: “This is a significant milestone for Liverpool Waters and will help us to accelerate the delivery of new homes in the city center.
“The Central Dock site is a key location within Liverpool Waters and will create a vibrant new neighborhood with a mix of homes, public open space and community facilities. We are grateful for the support of Homes England and look forward to working with them to deliver this exciting project.”
