KEIE and Beetham have unveiled a new image showcasing their ambitions for the £1bn King Edward project in Liverpool.
The CGI image of the Brock Carmichael-designed development, viewed from the Wirral shoreline, updates a recent architect’s drawing and will be used as part of a presentation to potential investors, end-users and their advisers at MIPIM.
Hugh Frost, from Beetham, said: “Our thinking will continue to evolve as we head towards a Q3 submission for our masterplan, but this image lets the market know that we are intent on delivering a scheme of international significance. We are briefing a select group of guests at MIPIM at a private event and have invited delegates from across the global property market. Our ambition is capturing people’s imagination, and we will continue to drive the scheme forward at pace.”
Chris Bolland, from Brock Carmichael, added: “What you see here shows our confidence that going beyond 50 storeys is achievable and desirable and our discussions to date with the city council have been highly constructive.”
It is anticipated that a detailed planning application for a ‘pathfinder’ tower of 26 storeys, which would anchor the north west corner of the 8-acre development zone, will be submitted before Easter.
The Liverpool office of Pegasus Group is providing planning advice to the consortium and Infinite 3D produced the CGI.
