Integritas buys 240-home Liverpool development plot 

Set on the site of the old St James station in Liverpool, the new station has received backing from Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, Network Rail, Merseyrail and Liverpool City Council.

Liverpool City Council followed planning officer recommendations in refusing the 236-apartment, co-living project in the Baltic Triangle and the 330-home scheme at Liverpool Waters.

Mandale Group has acquired the 81,000 sq ft Regian House and plans to convert it into apartments under permitted development rights. 

The city council has agreed to provide a report outlining the options available for retaking control of the long-stalled Great George Street site, including exercising compulsory purchase powers.

Crosslane Co-Living Group has twice scaled back its plans to redevelop the former Bogans Carpet site on New Bird Street in the Baltic Triangle but the city council is not satisfied with the proposals. 

National Museums Liverpool is on the hunt for a design team for a £1.75m project to transform both the International Slavery Museum and nearby Maritime Museum.

Concerns about the heritage impact of the 330-home scheme and question marks over how it fits into Peel L&P’s £5bn masterplan have held the project back. 

FSF Estates has scaled back its Sandhills hotel scheme, cutting the number of rooms from 174 to 134 after the city council rejected the proposals last year. 

Ryder Architecture is behind the designs for the 53,000 sq ft complex off Long Lane, with Wates lined up to build it.
