Jarron Developments has been granted planning permission by Liverpool City Council for its £120 million Metalworks development, a major residential project set to deliver 401 luxury apartments and townhouses on Leeds Street.

The approval marks a significant milestone for the developer, which acquired the site in September 2023. The Build to Rent (BTR) scheme will feature a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, along with five high-end townhouses inspired by New York City’s iconic architecture, spread across two interconnected 16-storey blocks.

Residents will benefit from a range of amenities, including a residents’ lounge, co-working space, cinema room, gym, and Liverpool’s first rooftop running track.

With several projects underway across Liverpool, Newcastle, and Sheffield, Jarron says Metalworks exemplifies its “commitment to delivering large-scale, transformative projects” in major urban areas.

Will Clarke, development director at Jarron, adds: “We are delighted to have won backing to deliver such an iconic scheme in Liverpool City Centre. This location is the perfect setting for the Metalworks development, which will be a landmark project for the city.

“It will offer exceptional living standards, with unparalleled access to work, leisure, and transport options. A special thanks to the officers at Liverpool City Council for their hard work throughout the application process.

“We’re excited to see the scheme progress and contribute to the continued success and growth of Liverpool.”

Metalworks is set to create more than 380 jobs during its construction and operational phases.
