KEIE Limited and Beetham have released the most detailed indication yet of the thinking behind their emerging King Edward project in Liverpool.

The image of the £1 billion development, viewed from the Wirral shoreline, illustrates the scale of the project team’s ambition, says Hugh Frost of Beetham.

Hugh says: “Our thinking will continue to evolve as we head towards a Q3 submission for our masterplan, but this image lets the market know that we are intent on delivering a scheme of international significance.”

The CGI, from scheme architects Brock Carmichael, has been produced for a key presentation to investors, end-users and their advisors at MIPIM, the global real estate investment conference held each March in Cannes.

Hugh adds: “We are briefing a select group of guests at MIPIM at a private event and have invited delegates from across the global property market.

“Our ambition is capturing people’s imagination, and we will continue to drive the scheme forward at pace.”

The image updates a recent architect’s drawing and demonstrates the ambition to ‘push the boundaries’ of Liverpool’s tall buildings zone, says project architect Chris Bolland of Brock Carmichael.

Chris adds: “What you see here shows our confidence that going beyond 50 storeys is achievable and desirable and our discussions to date with the city council have been highly constructive.”

The project team says it remains ‘on target’ for the submission before easter of a detailed planning application for a ‘pathfinder’ tower of 26 storeys. The tower would anchor the north west corner of the eight-acre development zone and put down a marker for the whole development.

The Liverpool office of Pegasus Group is providing planning advice to the consortium. Infinite 3D produced the CGI.
