Green light for £11m apartments at The Quarter

MORE than 100 apartments will be created in the latest phase of The Quarter development approved by Liverpool City Council.

Under proposals for Liverpool-based X1 Developments – designed by architects Falconer Chester Hall – the accommodation will be spread over the upper floors of a nine-storey building, with the lower ground floor used for commercial space.

In total there will be 101 apartments comprising a mix of one, two and three-bedroom units in an £11m project.

The building will front on to Sefton Street and forms part of the overall X1 Developments project at The Quarter bounded by Parliament Street, Caryl Street, Stanhope Street and Sefton Street.

“We were tasked with producing a scheme which satisfied the desire for strong design and high quality finishes at this very visible site on a main route in and out of the city centre,” said Falconer Chester Hall managing director Adam Hall.

“Our response has remained faithful to the ideals of the overall development and added details such as a ‘green wall’ which softens the look of the building, while adding character and visual interest.”

Vermont – X1 Developments’ contracting partner for The Quarter – expect to commence on site on June 15.

Manchester property company Zerum acted as planning consultant for the development.
