Freehold city‑centre sites with consent for 435 apartments — fast delivery potential.
Full freehold with planning permission for two apartment blocks
A rare freehold development site on the northern edge of Liverpool city centre with full planning permission for two detached apartment buildings. Site A is consented for 294 units over nine storeys (c.165,048 sq ft) and Site B for 141 units over six storeys (c.75,770 sq ft), offering a large combined residential footprint and straightforward delivery potential from permissioned designs.
The plots sit fronting Pall Mall, currently used as surface car parking, and lie within a dense mixed‑use zone where several large residential schemes are under construction or proposed. Infrastructure is good for an urban site: excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and no flood risk. Onsite parking provision is noted as garage parking.
This opportunity suits experienced residential developers or investors targeting city‑centre PRS or purpose‑built student accommodation, given the nearby colleges and a local population with high student presence. The freehold title and extant permission significantly reduce early planning risk and accelerate build‑out timelines compared with a greenfield acquisition.
Important negatives are material and must be considered: the local area records very high deprivation and elevated crime levels, which will influence lettability, management costs and design/security requirements. The site sits amid numerous competing large schemes (507, 405, 656 units nearby), so delivery will need a clear sales or lettings strategy and competitive specification to secure returns.
