Royal Liverpool abandons cladding tender

Overbury and CBRE have started the fit-out of the Royal College of Physicians' northern headquarters within a 160,000 sq ft office under construction in Liverpool's Knowledge Quarter. 

Contractor Willmott Dixon has completed the steel frame of the 137,000 sq ft police headquarters north of Liverpool city centre, which is scheduled to open in September 2021. 

The contractor has started phase one of a project to refurbish a 10-storey ward block on Lower Lane, having been appointed by the hospital's NHS trust. 

The latest phase of residential development at Princes Dock has reached practical completion, a £21m, 15-storey residential scheme managed by property company Redwing.

Merseytravel has selected the Warrington-based contractor to carry out refurbishment work at the Wallasey stop for the Mersey Ferries. 

The £118m specialist cancer hospital, linked to the Royal Liverpool University Hospital and intended to serve as a hub for NHS facilities across Cheshire and Wirral, is to open on 27 June in the Knowledge Quarter.

Laing O’Rourke, the main contractor on the £700m hospital rebuild project has outlined the safety processes it has implemented after workers expressed worries over a “lack of health measures on site”.

Part of the 646-bed hospital scheme, which has been plagued by delays, will open to provide care for patients recovering from the virus.

Legacie Developments said it is on target to complete its flagship £90m residential scheme in Liverpool after installing the steel frames for the buildings this month.
