Demolition to pave way for Liverpool skyscrapers
Davos Property Developments and Beetham Group have applied to knock down several buildings on the northern fringe of its eight-acre waterfront masterplan to get it ready for the first of a cluster of towers.
Four blocks of buildings on Roberts Street, and at 1 Greenock Street, the former Greek restaurant at 11 -14 Waterloo Road, and the martial arts building next to the former King Edward pub site, will all be demolished if permission is granted by Liverpool City Council.
View the application and scope of the demolition work by searching for reference number 25PM/2541 on the city council’s planning portal.
The developers, whose vision for the site at King Edward Triangle include plans for Liverpool’s tallest ever building, also want to close part of Roberts Street, Greenock Street and Denison Street so that a construction compound can be created.
This would serve workers on the first of the proposed towers – a 28-storey building featuring 255 apartments at the junction of Waterloo Road and Paisley Street. Plans for this scheme were lodged in June and are expected to be approved soon.
“We are moving at pace and have every confidence in the quality of what we will deliver. These applications keep us on track,” said Hugh Frost, chairman of Beetham.
Pegasus Group is providing planning, economics, heritage and EIA services to the client team behind the King Edward scheme. Brock Carmichael is the masterplan architects.
