Cheshire-based BDP Construction is aiming for a Q4 start on parent company Equityway’s £110m Love Lane development.

Having taken over the scheme from Sourced Developments last year, UAE-based Habita – headed up by former Sourced consultant Ian Ringwood – secured full planning consent for the 507-home project. The scheme is now being brought forward by Equityway Holdings, headed up by chief executive Steven Donlon and director Rob Talbot, which is working with a new project team to secure Gateway 2 approval.

Footprint Architects, Pegasus Group, Pick Everard, and Shear are advising Habita on the scheme as it moves towards the delivery phase.

The scheme would be by far BDP Construction’s biggest to date. The contractor was established in 2021 and forms part of the wider Equityway Group.

“Love Lane is exactly the kind of scheme we want to be delivering,” Talbot said. “It is well-located, well-designed, and already has real momentum behind it.

“The team we have assembled gives us the capability to take this through to completion in the right way. This is a strong addition to the BDP portfolio and a scheme we are committed to getting right for Liverpool.”

The apartments within the scheme are being sold off-plan with prices starting at £186,000. Equityway claims 70% of the first phase have been sold.

The scheme was originally designed by architect BDP – which is not affiliated to the contractor appointed to build it – for Sourced. It comprises the delivery of four residential blocks rising to 11 storeys on four acres of land between the Ten Streets regeneration area and Eldonian Village.

Three of the plots adjoin Love Lane and one is located further south on Pall Mall.

The scheme would feature 147 one-bedroom apartments, 330 with two bedrooms, and 30 with three beds.

Redundant railway arches and subterranean tunnels located on two of the plots would be repurposed into more than 10,000 sq ft of commercial space under the proposals. A 200-metre linear park also forms part of the joint venture’s vision for the site.
