Crossfield hires ex-Wates manager Sutton

A third steel frame at Legacie Developments’ 500-apartment scheme on the edge of Liverpool’s Baltic Triangle has been constructed as the developer aims for completion of the development next summer, following the sale of 300 units.

The latest residential tower at developer Peel L&P’s £5bn Liverpool Waters has topped out, a 325-apartment scheme designed by Falconer Chester Hall architects.

The developer, part of ForViva Group, is building a residential scheme of 24 affordable homes in Knowsley, expected to form the first of a two-phase project.
