New 177-apartment scheme approved for Liverpool

Planners have approved a scheme for 177 new apartments in Liverpool.

The development, designed by architects Falconer Chester Hall for Fast Growth Homes, will be on a vacant site on Kirkdale Road and Great Homer Street, close to Liverpool city centre.

Fast Growth Homes is a development company based in Liverpool which currently has multiple projects in the pipeline, including two hotel schemes adjacent to Liverpool Waters and a further waterfront development of 200 apartments.

The firm particularly focuses on areas that would benefit the local community and works in collaboration with Liverpool City Council to achieve this.

The development will see two connected buildings of five- and six-storeys established on a site bounded to the south by the Kirkdale Road/Great Homer Street junction.

As well as the mix of 18 studios, 69 one- and 90 two-bedroom apartments, the development will also include commercial space on the ground floor, a communal courtyard garden area at the first-floor level, and a residents’ gym.

“This development builds on regeneration already happening in the area, reinstating activity and the historic scale on one of Liverpool’s great roads,” said Alastair Shepherd, director at Falconer Chester Hall.

“The city council deserve much credit for encouraging this form and quality of development,” he added.
