Liverpool developer says it will create more than 800 jobs this year

Legacie Developments is set to create more than 800 construction-related jobs in Liverpool before the end of 2021.

The company, which is currently working on the £90m Parliament Square in the the city’s Baltic Triangle area, will soon be developing five sites across the city including One Baltic Square and Element The Quarter, which will be developed into a 450-unit eco-friendly residential scheme.

Legacie is also starting work on a building scheme to create 76 homes in North Liverpool.

Founder, John Morley, said: “We are incredibly proud of the new jobs we are creating in Liverpool’s construction sector.

“The new jobs cover all aspects of the construction industry, and will include a number of opportunities for apprentices who we have committed to upskilling for the future.”

He added: “It is especially pleasing to help people get back to work after the pandemic.

“The jobs will be across all of our sites in Liverpool, including Parliament Square, One Baltic Square, Element The Quarter, City Terraces in North Liverpool and The Summit.”

Legacie was founded in 2016 by John Morley, and has delivered multiple residential projects in the region including Liverpool’s Ropemaker Place apartment scheme and the redevelopment of the flagship Reliance House in the city’s commercial district.

The company recently expanded to Manchester with the announcement of a major residential development at Salford Quays. It is also expanding to London and Luton.
