Liverpool rubber stamps 434-apartment scheme

Packaged Living and the city council have agreed a Section 106 agreement for the developer’s Old Hall Street scheme, which features buildings of 18 and 25 storeys.

The agreement has been inked almost a year to the day since Liverpool City Council’s planning committee voted unanimously to approve the plans.

At the time, Packaged Living said it had hoped to be on site in early 2027. The developer is delivering the scheme in partnership with Affinius Capital after acquiring the site in 2022.

Prior to their involvement, the site had been earmarked for a project known as Ovatus, which would have featured much taller towers of 27 and 48 storeys.

Designed by Falconer Chester Hall, Packaged Living’s plans include a mixture of one-, two-, and three-bed flats as well as coworking areas, a gym, lounges, and rooftop terraces.

The taller of the two towers will hold 150 flats with one bedroom, 146 with two, and six with three.  The shorter tower will comprise 65 apartments with one bedroom, 63 with two, and four with three.
