Work on £20m scheme in north Liverpool about to start

The scheme in north Liverpool

Work on a huge new residential £20m scheme in north Liverpool is about to get underway.

Legacie Developments has announced that work on Azure Residence, an luxury apartment and retail development, will start imminently.

Images of the £20 million project at Rose Place reveal a continuation of the transformation of the area around St Anne Street on the fringes of Liverpool city centre.

The development includes 127 one, two and three-bedroom apartments, gym and 4,000 sq ft of new retail space.

The scheme will also create between 80-100 jobs during the construction which is expected to be completed by December 2019.

Meanwhile, 30 full-time administrative and service jobs will be created when the residential complex opens.

Azure Residence is the latest in a number of flagship developments changing the face of the north of the city

The new Merseyside Police headquarters is expected to be located opposite the development on land between Scotland Road and St Anne Street, behind the existing St Anne Street police station.

Investment in the area comes after the success of Project Jennifer – the brainchild of Liverpool Mayor Joe Anderson.

A spokesperson for Legacie said: “Azure Residence will deliver high quality apartment living, new retail and leisure opportunities.

“Above all, it will continue the transformation of the Scotland Road and St Anne Street area into a vibrant and thriving place to live.

“We very much see this development as an extension to Liverpool city centre and our target market will be people who want city centre living.”

Azure Residence is just the latest in a series of high profile residential projects by Legacie Developments.

The company is responsible for the restoration of Reliance House on Water Street and other residential schemes including the redevelopment of Dale Street shops which was once part of the Liverpool Echo’s ‘stop the rot campaign’.

Legaice is also currently developing Ropermaker Place on Renshaw Street.
