New luxury apartments set to transform Queens Dock’s former HMRC building have been unveiled, ahead of a show home launch.

The Keel, a £30 million private rented sector (PRS) development, will turn the waterfront building into 240 one, two and three-bedroom and studio properties, surrounding a private central quay and overlooking the River Mersey.

Investor Moorfield Group (Moorfield) is funding the scheme, on behalf of the Moorfield Real Estate Fund III (MREFIII), and has teamed up with development partner Glenbrook Property.

The homes, which will also be accompanied by a residents only gym, concierge, 24-hour security, waterside terraces, on-site cycle and car parking and secure storage for tenants, are set to breathe new life into the former office building which was originally built in 1993 during the early days of Liverpool’s waterfront renaissance

On Monday 8 June a show apartment at the site, which will also benefit from professional on-site property management and a 24-hour customer help service, will open its doors to potential tenants.

Ahead of the launch Ian Sherry, director of Glenbrook Property, says: “The Keel is one of the city’s most spectacular new residential schemes and we are extremely excited about opening the doors to unveil what we and Moorfield have created here – it’s a far cry from the old interiors of the former tax office.”

Charles Ferguson Davie, chief investment officer at Moorfield, adds: “Liverpool’s waterfront has witnessed a significant revival over recent years and The Keel is the perfect new addition to the regeneration of the area, creating a landmark asset for the City Centre and part of a larger strategic move into the purpose-built private rental sector for funds managed by Moorfield.”

The Keel’s show apartment, on the ground floor of the northern side of the development accessed via Kings Parade, will be open Monday to Saturday.
