Legacie completes pair of Liverpool schemes
Millers Place and One Park Lane, both in the Baltic Triangle, have been delivered by the developer, bringing close to 200 apartments to the city.
Delivery of both build-to-rent projects was managed by specialist Legacie Contracts.
Legacie worked with Hill Dickinson and architect Falconer Chester Hall. Both projects were funded by Merseyside Pension Fund.
The 104-home Millers Place, the first new-build to be completed as part of the wider Heaps Mill regeneration project around the grade two-listed Rice Mill, offers a mix of studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments.
With three other residential blocks and a hotel as part of the scheme, the mill is intended to be the centrepiece of the full development, featuring a spa, rooftop terraces, café-bar and museum, along with a gym and commercial units.
The 16-storey One Park Lane comprises 91 apartments on a corner site near to Heaps Mill. The development includes studio, one-, two-and three-bedroom apartments.
Both developments are five minutes from Liverpool’s central shopping district, cultural landmarks and transport links, with seamless access to the city’s historic waterfront.

Mike Rider, construction director at Legacie, said: “The successful delivery of Millers Place and One Park Lane is testament to the dedication of our project teams, as well as our partners. Both developments were complex due to their respective locations and restricted site access, yet they represent a key milestone in the Heaps Mill regeneration.
“Once fully developed, this will be one of Liverpool’s most ambitious and transformative urban regeneration projects.”
Martin Haymes, associate director at architect Falconer Chester Hall said: “Working with Legacie on the first phase of the Heaps Mill masterplan has been a thoroughly rewarding experience.
“The attention to detail in the design reflects the high standards set by the client, delivering a building of real value with a high specification of finish. Situated adjacent to the grade two-listed mill, we carefully considered the materiality and detailing of the exterior to ensure a modern design that sympathetically complements the heritage of the surrounding architecture.
“This development marks a key milestone in the Heaps Mill regeneration, and we look forward to seeing the continued progress of the wider masterplan in the coming years.”
Earlier this year, Legacie managing director Gavin Currie told Place North West how the firm is looking further afield, to build on its dominant position in Liverpool.
All apartments across both developments have been fully sold through Legacie’s sales partner, RWinvest, the firm said, with the first tenants now moving in. The developments will be managed by Legacie’s in-house management team.
