A further seventy-eight waterside homes could soon be added to the emerging Northbank neighbourhood at Wirral Waters, if approved by Wirral Council.

Plans for the second phase of Redbridge Quay have been submitted to the local planning authority and will be developed by a joint venture between Qualis Developments and the Forshaw Group, if given the go-ahead.

Waterside gardens and “expansive glazing” will feature in all of the 78 new homes within the Northbank neighbourhood’s latest residential development, which will comprise 64 one-bedroom apartments and 14 two-bedroom homes.

Qualis Developments is a property development company based in Manchester. Recent developments include Great Central in Sheffield and The Interchange in Manchester. Qualis will be working in a joint venture with the Forshaw Group, a residential property developer that specialises in transforming unused land and buildings.

The plans for Redbridge Quay have incorporated a take on the Victorian terraced house and includes features such as open plan living spaces with cathedral ceilings, double height living spaces alongside waterside patios.

Phase two of Redbridge Quay will be situated next to the recently regenerated East Float Quay – the Grade II-listed former grain warehouses – and surrounded by dockside walkways, green landscaping, a new pocket park, and new public realm.

In addition, all properties built as part of Redbridge Quay phase two will include, as standard, app-enabled electric heating or air-source heat pumps, solar roof panels, heat recovery, and access to electric vehicle charging. The developers will also employ a fabric first approach creating highly insulated homes built with robust materials.

Richard Mawdsley, Director of Development at Wirral Waters, said: “Residential development is moving at pace along Northbank and it’s fantastic to see this new community growing.

“Northbank offers a variety of different housing types, with a good mix of properties available to buy and rent, plus sustainable transport links, dockside walkways, public realm, and access to parks and green spaces.

“We’re delighted to be working with Qualis Developments and the Forshaw Group on phase two of Redbridge Quay. Their strong sustainability credentials were an important part of our decision to appoint them, and this new development will be a fantastic addition to the Northbank neighbourhood.”

Richard Dean, managing director at Qualis Developments, adds: “Our aim has always been to provide affordable, beautiful and well-designed homes for a range of buyers. We believe that is exactly what we’ll deliver at Wirral Waters – our very first development in the Liverpool City Region and hopefully the first of many.

“Peel Waters has been an extremely supportive partner to work with and, if approved, we look forward to repaying their confidence in the quality and speed of the build-out of our new homes in 2025.”
