Jarron forges ahead with reworked Metalworks
Having acquired a site on Liverpool’s Leeds Street out of administration last April, the developer has submitted plans for two 15-storey blocks comprising 405 apartments in the Pumpfields area of Liverpool.
A webpage dedicated to the scheme set up by Jarron states that the project would provide “best-in-class one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments and townhouses”.
Amenity spaces within the development include a residents’ lounge with co-working space, a cinema room, a gym, and a roof-top running track.
Will Clarke, development director at Jarron Investments, said: “The submission of our application for The Metalworks scheme is a major milestone in delivering this ground-breaking residential project.
“We are proud to be able to contribute to the success and vibrancy of Liverpool City Centre as a residential location of choice and to play our part in its regeneration through investment in this prominent and sustainably located site.”
Designed by Falconer Chester Hall, Jarron Investments’ plans are larger than the 319-home scheme previously proposed by Pumpfields Regeneration Company, which went bust in March 2021.
At the time of Pumpfield Regeneration’s collapse, the administrators estimated the Metalworks project’s creditors were owed around £7m. The site was put up for sale to claw back money for the creditors.
Gladstone Street (Liverpool), a vehicle controlled by Jarron, completed its £1.7m acquisition of the site last September.
Alongside Falconer Chester Hall, the project team for Jarron’s scheme includes Turley, as planning, heritage, economics, sustainability, and strategic communications advisor, and Harley Haddow as MEP engineer.
Edge Consulting is the structural and civils engineer, Layer Studio is the landscape architect, ALT is advising on fire, Curtins on transport planning, and Proximity on sunlight. E3P is the geotechnical engineer and GIA is advising on wind.
Andrew Bickerdike, head of planning for the North at Turley, said: “Jarron Investments has designed a scheme which will meet the pressing need for additional residential properties in the city centre.
“Their scheme proposes a diverse range of properties to enable the development to support a mixed community. This part of the city centre offers significant regeneration potential being well located in relation to both the core of the city centre and Liverpool’s waterfront.”
