en.Wedoany.com Reported - A two-acre brownfield project in Liverpool's Baltic Triangle has been revived, with landowner Davos Property Developments and build-to-rent developer Brickland submitting an Environmental Impact Assessment screening opinion for the site.
The site, bounded by Chaloner Street, Upper Parliament Street, and Flint Street, was formerly Norton Scrap Metal. According to an application submitted by Savills on behalf of Davos and Brickland, the developers' new plans are in principle similar to a scheme that received support from Liverpool city councillors in 2020.
The 2020 plans were proposed by the now-dissolved Chaloner Street Developments and designed by MCAU. Originally named Norton Point, the project envisioned three residential towers up to 27 storeys, along with a hotel, approximately 22,200 sq ft of office space, and around 24,700 sq ft of flexible mixed-use space.
In contrast, Davos's current application proposes three residential towers ranging from 17 to 27 storeys, with ground-floor commercial space, as well as a hotel, amenity spaces, communal areas, and landscaping. Although councillors voted in favour of the project in 2020, no planning permission was actually granted before the application was processed under Article 40 last year. The site was put on the market for sale shortly after the favourable vote, until it was acquired by Davos for £8.1 million in 2024.
Davos and Brickland said planning details would be released in due course. A spokesperson for the two companies told Place North West that the team was "refining the proposals" and engaging in dialogue with Liverpool City Council. The spokesperson noted that this is a key strategic site at the southern gateway to the city centre, with the potential to create an enhanced mixed-use scheme in the Baltic Triangle.
The project team has been involved in several local developments and has a deep understanding of the area's character and evolving needs. Davos, owned by Home Bargains founder Tom Morris, has become a major player in Liverpool's property sector in recent years. In addition to leading the £1.2 billion Kings skyscraper district project, the company recently secured planning committee approval for 258 apartments in the Baltic Triangle and 17 luxury apartments near Sefton Park.
