Graham wins first tower at £1.2bn Liverpool scheme
Summary
Graham has been appointed to deliver the first tower in the proposed £1.2bn Kings waterfront scheme in Liverpool, with construction of the 28-storey, 255-home build-to-rent block expected to begin in mid-2027. The wider masterplan remains subject to further planning, with a hybrid application now expected in early 2027 for later phases of the development.
Why it matters
The project adds a significant new build-to-rent pipeline in Liverpool and may influence local supply, values and delivery timelines. Surveyors may also want to note the viability-led absence of affordable housing and the scale of the remaining consented and unconsented phases.
Key points
- Graham will build No.1 Kings, a 28-storey tower with 255 homes for rent.
- The first phase is fully funded by the project shareholders and is due to start in mid-2027.
- The scheme secured planning approval in February and includes retail, amenities and rooftop social space.
- No affordable homes were included on viability grounds in the approved scheme.
- Further phases, including a 70-storey hotel and residential tower, still require consent.
