Revealed: £40m Knowledge Quarter residential scheme

Plans for a new £40 million residential development in Liverpool’s Knowledge Quarter have been unveiled.

The Rise will be built 400 metres from the site of the Royal Liverpool Hospital and includes a mix of student and private accommodation.

Primesite Developments has purchased the previously derelict site on Low Hill and is now clearing it to make way for the U-shaped building which is due for completion in August 2018.

Planning permission is in place for the scheme which includes 246 private residential units alongside 146 student units – a mix of cluster accommodation and studios.

Bobbie Johnson, director at Primesite, says: “As a local business, this opportunity to have a positive impact on the regeneration of the area is very important to us.

“By creating a new residential building on a previously derelict, eyesore site, we hope to improve housing options for both workers and students.

“The Rise is designed to fit in with its unusual mixture of surroundings – a main junction, housing, an industrial estate, and gardens – to become a landmark that is part of the fabric of Liverpool.”

    Prime site developments Ltd are involved with Sky Building Ltd, both based on Liverpool. They are a developer who gets architects such as KDP Architects and solicitors such as EAD solicitors help authorise certificates of practical completion on properties which are far from complete. Many investors complete in good faith based on the validity of three certificates to only find out you have had your money fraudulently taken away from you. I have lost over £70000 since July 2017. Please I urge you based on personal experience not to get involved with fraudulent companies such as those mentioned above. Help stop fraud.
