Plans for a major residential development on The Strand have been submitted to Liverpool City Council.

The ambitious proposal includes the creation of a new 16-storey apartment complex with private roof terraces and ground floor space for restaurants, bars and cafés.

Plans for the joint venture between Patten Properties and Panacea Property Development were first revealed to the public last month and include the demolition of four-storey office building, Strand House.

A total of 391 apartments are planned for the scheme which will also feature new commercial space and a residents’ roof garden at the junction of Strand Street and Red Cross Street.

The scheme also includes a semi-public landscaped area to improve the public realm on Strand Street.

According to the developers, a number of design elements and materials from surrounding waterfront buildings including Mann Island, the Three Graces and One Park West have been included in the scheme to ensure the development is integrated with the surrounding area.

Neil Patten, managing director of both Patten Properties and Panacea Property Development, says: “It is vital that our design is sensitive to the heritage of Liverpool’s historic waterfront and is more suitable in terms of scale and appearance than the existing, and somewhat dated, office block currently on the site.

“This is a key transition point between historic buildings and more modern developments within the Albert Dock, Liverpool ONE and the city centre, so we’ve looked to tie these areas together.

“We received fantastic feedback from our recent public consultation and we’re hopeful that the planning committee will look favourably on the sensitively designed plans.”
