Old Hall Street Liverpool is a new residential landmark designed by Falconer Chester Hall for Packaged Living. The scheme, which recently secured planning permission, will deliver 434 build-to-rent homes across two elegant towers rising to 25 and 19 storeys, creating a distinctive arrival point at the northern gateway to the city centre.

The architecture takes its cues from the surrounding business quarter, using a calm and refined façade language that echoes the vertical proportions and pale tones of nearby buildings. The twin-tower composition creates a strong presence on the skyline while responding carefully to Liverpool’s tall buildings policy. As the form steps down towards Leeds Street, it protects daylight, aspect and long views for neighbouring sites.

At street level, the development will open a previously underused corner to form a new public square. Active frontages, planting and generous routes improve the pedestrian experience and connect the scheme back into the wider city. Residents benefit from a series of shared amenities, including co-working areas, lounges, a gym and landscaped roof terraces that offer far-reaching views across the River Mersey and Bramley-Moore Dock.

The homes are designed to Nationally Described Space Standards and include a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments with enhanced accessibility throughout. A low-car approach encourages sustainable travel, supported by extensive cycle storage and excellent public transport connections.

A climate-resilient landscape strategy completes the scheme, drawing inspiration from the historic Old Hall Street Basin and strengthening the sense of place. Together, these elements will create a contemporary residential destination that contributes positively to Liverpool’s ongoing regeneration.
