Packaged Living unveils plans for 25-storey Liverpool tower
Old Hall Place would provide 434 apartments at the junction of Old Hall Street and Leeds Street.
Packaged Living has launched a consultation on its plans to deliver the flats in Liverpool, featuring a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments. The consultation on the proposals will run until 26 July.
Designed by Falconer Chester Hall, the scheme would create two towers ranging from 19- to 25-storeys.
Proposals for Old Hall Place include a range of shared amenity spaces including lounges and co-working areas. There would also be roof terraces with views across Snowdonia, Blackpool, and the Lake District.
Residents would be provided with 282 cycle spaces, as well as accessible car parking bays.
If approved, work is anticipated to start on the scheme early next year for completion in late 2026.
Edwina Coward, development manager at Packaged Living, said: “Today’s city centre resident is increasingly living, working, and spending leisure time in the city and embracing car clubs, public transport, walking, and cycling.
“The scheme offers superb cycling facilities including a bike hub and repair workshop”, she continued.
“We’re putting a lot of focus on the ground floor landscaping and uses to make this a place where people will want to dwell, as well as aesthetically enhancing this junction as the northern gateway into Liverpool city centre.”
Architect Adam Hall added: “We have enjoyed a very collaborative set of meetings with Liverpool Council and now it is time to ask the public what they think.
“The proposals envisage a high-quality development that will offer a fitting book-end to Liverpool’s thriving commercial district.”
Currently vacant, the site consists of an unused office building formerly home to Littlewoods’ computer centre.
Packaged Living acquired the two plots on Old Hall Street last November in a partnership with USAA Real Estate. Part of the site benefits from planning permission for a 27-storey tower with 168 apartments, a scheme drawn up by Hodder + Partners and approved by Liverpool City Council in 2017.
In 2018, a consultation was launched on plans for a 48-storey tower on another part of the site however a planning application was never submitted.
