X1 Developments and its partner, Starlight Investments, have celebrated the official ground-breaking ceremony for its 278-apartment development at Princes Dock, Liverpool Waters.

The project is being delivered in partnership with Peel Waters and main contractor, Vermont Construction. The official ground-breaking ceremony marks the conclusion of groundworks at the 31-storey scheme – expected to reach full completion in late 2025.

Designed by Falconer Chester Hall, the new residential community will have a range of amenity spaces on the ground and 11th floor. These include a residents’ lounge, fully equipped kitchen, recreational games area, a fitness centre, a dance and yoga studio and co-working spaces.

The tower boasts a contemporary glazed façade across all upper levels and a stone, aluminium façade with glazing to the lower 11-storey element. The stone façade to the 11-storey section will complement the stone colonnade at ground floor level along the length of William Jessop Way.

Nick Sweeney, CEO of X1 Developments says: “Collaboration is at the heart of the vision for Liverpool Waters and together with our strategic partners we are not only reshaping the cityscape but crafting a new, vibrant and thriving community.

“Our journey at Liverpool Waters exemplifies the power of synergy and we are delighted to be working with Starlight, Vermont & Peel Waters once again, sharing collective vision and expertise to continue the regeneration at Liverpool Waters.”

Daniel Drimmer, founder and chief executive officer, Starlight Investments, adds: “This landmark project signifies Starlight Investments’ entrance into the UK’s thriving build-to-rent market. We are thrilled to work with trusted partners like X1 Developments and Peel Waters, to provide more high-quality, community-enhancing homes to the area.
