Liverpool Waters Planning application submitted for 8-storey tower

Peel Land & Property has announced progress with its project Liverpool Waters set within the Mersey Waters Enterprise Zone.

The developments will ultimately start to transform the 60-hectare waterfront site into a mixed-use development supporting jobs, providing homes and delivering leisure space.

Peel Director Lindsey Ashworth confirmed that a detailed planning application had now been submitted for an eight-storey 100,000 square foot Grade A office building at Princes Dock.

This is the first such application since Liverpool Waters received its final outline planning consent in November 2013 and is a signal of the developer’s commitment to, and belief in, the city’s commercial office market.

Lindsey Ashworth, director at Peel said: “These announcements mark a major milestone for Liverpool Waters confirming what we hear time and again that the city’s waterfront is a key attraction for investment. It also shows that Liverpool Waters is moving forward with a balanced mixture of uses befitting a modern dynamic city.

“Princes Dock is currently enjoying a good occupancy rate of 97% across its three waterfront office buildings.

“We may develop it ourselves, sell the land on to others to develop or form a joint venture partnership.

“At this stage we rule nothing in and nothing out regarding the future development of this site in order to retain the flexibility to respond to the market.”

“We have enquiries and interest along the length of Liverpool Waters from Princes Dock to Bramley Moore Dock and we will continue working hard to secure the very best and most sustainable projects on behalf of the city.”
