Set in a sensitively refurbished Grade II listed warehouse, this open-plan Manhattan-style studio apartment offers clear rental appeal and modern living in Liverpool's L1 postcode. The conversion retains historic brick character and tall ceilings while delivering contemporary finishes, eco-features, and newly renovated interiors suited to short- or long-term lettings.
The building provides standout amenities that support strong yield potential: rooftop terrace, Roman spa, gym, and onsite parking. The developer forecasts c.28.8% capital growth by 2028 and the apartment currently quotes a 6% net rental return—figures that will interest buy-to-let investors. A 999-year lease removes short-lease concerns.
Important considerations: the property is Grade II listed, so alterations will be restricted and maintenance or repair work may require listed-building consent. The wider area is classed as a cosmopolitan, student-focused neighbourhood with higher deprivation indicators, which can affect resale to some owner-occupiers and influence tenant mix. Crime levels are average.
Overall, this unit suits buyers seeking a high-spec investment with strong central location benefits and premium onsite services. Owner-occupiers who prioritise character and city-centre convenience will also appreciate the contemporary fit-out, but should accept listed-status constraints and the local student-driven market dynamics.
