Liverpool's urban development project experiences significant breakthrough
In an exciting development, Davos Property Developments Limited, in collaboration with Beetham Davos Ltd, have submitted a planning application for a £1 billion residential tower as part of the Liverpool Waters scheme. This project, situated within 10 minutes of the city centre, promises to rejuvenate the former King Edward industrial estate on Gibraltar Row and bring a thriving community to life [1][3].
The vision for this transformation extends beyond just housing. The development will incorporate a range of housing types, including affordable ones, local amenities, and will strive to enhance the natural surroundings and biodiversity of the area [2]. This project is a significant step towards Peel Waters' long-term regeneration vision for Liverpool's waterfront, which aims to breathe new life into the city's post-industrial northern docklands.
The remediation work at the Festival Gardens site, which won a national brownfield award, has been completed after three years. More than 95% of the soil and waste moved during these works were recycled, reflecting a commitment to sustainability [4]. This development is set to become a flagship sustainable housing project in the UK [7].
Cllr Liam Robinson, leader of Liverpool City Council, has hailed this as a major milestone moment in the evolution of the Festival Gardens site. The development partner, who will be appointed from September 10, 2023, will be tasked with creating a new neighborhood and preserving the UK's only remaining Festival Gardens for future generations [5][6].
The development partner will also be invited to share a transformative vision for the area and the city as a whole. The site, originally covering 250 acres, is now positioned for a flagship sustainable housing development in the UK. The development is expected to set the standard for sustainable housing in the UK and will be a key component of the city's draft housing strategy [7].
One hundred thousand cubic meters of earth were used to create the city's newest park - the Southern Grasslands, which opened in August 2023. This development is more than just a project; it's a commitment to a greener, more vibrant future for Liverpool City Centre [8].
