Limelight is a vibrant and modern 16-storey, two-block development offering 536 beds for student accommodation, designed for Blacklight Capital Partners. Situated at the northern gateway to Liverpool city centre, the project integrates with its surroundings.
The two blocks are connected by a glazed communal area on the ground floor, providing a mix of cluster bedrooms and studios. Residents can enjoy a secure landscaped communal courtyard, creating a welcoming outdoor space.
The building’s façade features a distinctive grid design with a woven solid-glass arrangement, referencing rag trade industry that once thrived in the area. The roof design and sheer side walls draw inspiration from the historical slate works that previously occupied the site, blending modern architecture with local heritage.
The project has been launched at the start of 2024, designed and delivered by Falconer Chester Hall.
