Plans have been submitted for a new mixed-use development on land currently occupied by a surface car park in Liverpool’s Fabric District.

The project is a joint venture between Liver Property and Merco Developments, who have formed an SPV for the scheme called Duke Developments.

Liver and Merco have a combined property portfolio of over 350 commercial and residential units in the Merseyside area, and will be investing £10 million into the new development.

Mr. Bashir Saleh of Merco Developments has been active in South Liverpool for more than 25 years and has been involved in a range of completed schemes containing, housing, commercial, and community projects, particularly in the L8, L15 and L17 neighbourhoods.

Proposals for the new build development on the site of the Clifford Street Car Park comprise two blocks – one five storeys tall and the other reaching to seven storeys.

The development will contain 400 sqm of employment use at the ground and mezzanine levels, two 60 sqm resident lounges, two 460 sqm roof gardens for residents and 70 apartments (a mix of one and two-bedroom units).

According to a design and access statement for the project produced by Liverpool-based architecture practice Studio RBA, the proposal delivers “a high density residential development on previously developed land within a city centre urban location that is accessible by a range of modes of transport and is accessible to services, amenities and employment”.

The document continues: “The proposed redevelopment of the [car park] site makes efficient use of land and minimises the environmental impacts of delivering development by reutilising land rather than developing on undeveloped land.”
