North Point Global have secured planning permission for one of the most striking new developments in Liverpool in recent years.
The development – to be known as North Point – will help extend the city centre fringe northwards and create a truly landmark destination.
The scheme, designed for North Point Global by BLOK Architecture of Liverpool, was warmly received by the City Council’s Planning committee
‘We are delighted with the approval, and the positive reaction to our plans. This is a hugely exciting project for us and, we believe, for the city. North Point will establish itself as a distinct destination, open up a different kind of urban living and take the expansion of the city centre outwards in a new direction,’ said Peter McInnes, Managing Director of North Point Global.
North Point will feature 366 residential units split between studio, one and two-bedroom apartments, and live/work units, as well as ground, first and second floor offices, ground floor retail space, ground floor cafe/bar, a fifth/sixth floor restaurant and terrace, a third floor gym and external paddle court and a tenth/eleventh floor spa with an external terrace.
A striking feature of the development will be the extensive roof gardens which will add significant outdoor amenity for residents and visitors and create a new green space.
A number of existing buildings at 70-90 Pall Mall will be demolished and replaced by a series of buildings ranging from seven to ten storeys in height. An 18-storey tower will stand at one end of the development and provide an impressive landmark at this gateway location to the city centre from the north.
The old warehouse frontages at the site will be retained, however, to maintain an architectural link with the heritage of the area.
