Forshaw, Qualis to add 78 homes at Wirral Waters
Phase two of Redbridge Quay will feature 64 one-bedroom flats and 14 two-bedroom homes.
Qualis Developments and Forshaw Group have submitted plans for the next wave of homes at the waterside masterplan to Wirral Council.
Located at Wirral Waters’ Northbank neighbourhood, Redbridge Quay, the scheme’s design draws inspiration from Victorian terraces as well as grade two-listed grain warehouses, bringing features such as double-height rooms and open-plan living spaces, the developers said.
Phase one of Redbridge Quay was completed last year, and residents have been moving into the £55m modular development, that sits near East Float Quay.
The nearby £130m Millers Quay hit the market last summer, reaching 80% occupancy within 10 weeks.
The final 350 new homes at Millers Quay are due to be completed early this year.
Together, Redbridge Quay and Millers Quay will contain over 850 homes, including 100 affordable homes. Residents of Wirral Waters will have access to waterside amenities, dockside walkways, pocket parks, and a landscaped public realm.

Richard Mawdsley, director of development at Wirral Waters, said: “Residential development is moving at pace along Northbank and it’s fantastic to see this new community growing.
“Northbank offers a variety of different housing types, with a good mix of properties available to buy and rent, plus sustainable transport links, dockside walkways, public realm, and access to parks and green spaces.
He added: “We’re delighted to be working with Qualis Developments and the Forshaw Group on phase two of Redbridge Quay. Their strong sustainability credentials were an important part of our decision to appoint them, and this new development will be a fantastic addition to the Northbank neighbourhood.”
Richard Dean, managing director at Qualis Developments, added: “Our aim has always been to provide affordable, beautiful and well-designed homes for a range of buyers.
“We believe that is exactly what we’ll deliver at Wirral Waters – our very first development in the Liverpool City Region and hopefully the first of many.”
He continued: “Peel Waters has been an extremely supportive partner to work with and, if approved, we look forward to repaying their confidence in the quality and speed of the build-out of our new homes in 2025.”
These 4 storey properties here are much better suited on the main roads than a lot of the previous new stuff in Birkenhead consisting of suburban looking houses with front and back gardens, in addition there has been a tendency to have high walls facing onto the main roads with the houses behind them which looks pretty soulless and very unattractive.

The noise from the wagons continually going to and fro from the twelve quay Irish ferry will be terrible

Not keen on the over use of the red cladding

@ Anon 7.14pm, noisy wagons, simple solution, if you don’t want to risk that choose to live elsewhere, but plenty of people are choosing to live there already in the new Millers Quay, and the converted warehouse.

Are they making any affordable bungalow’s for
The elderly?
By Mary Woolley
These are rather good! Gentle density in action.

@Mary Woolley, Mary, why would you waste valuable inner urban land on bungalows, why wouldn’t elderly people want to live in flats, say 4,5,6 floors with a good concierge system as plenty do quite happily.

Whilst the developments are good for the area the Redbridge homes are hardly occupied the millers quay development has add further pressure to and existing busy road with people parking alongside feels dangerous to drive along there especially at rush hours the ammount of hgvs passing furthermore add to the sense of danger and building 500 appartment with 150 space to rent isn’t cleave transport links are a joke bus stops but no buses stop so you need a car to pretty much get anywhere surely one of the bus companies could re route a bus the extra 5 mins or less to cover travel to and from the town and Liverpool city centre please that would help the reliance on cars and better for all hopefully someone will read this and have a light bulb moment
