Old Hall Street Advances Toward 434-Apartment Tower Development

Plans to transform a redundant city-centre site in Liverpool into a major residential scheme have moved forward following the completion of a key legal agreement. Developer Packaged Living, working alongside Affinius Capital, has concluded a Section 106 planning agreement with Liverpool City Council for the proposed redevelopment at the junction of Old Hall Street and Leeds Street. This milestone advances the project beyond the planning committee approval it originally secured in November 2025, paving the way for formal permission to be issued. The scheme involves demolishing the former Littlewoods computer centre to construct two modern build-to-rent residential towers. According to project details, the development will deliver 434 professionally managed private rented apartments across the two high-rise buildings, with the taller tower reaching 25 storeys and the secondary tower standing at either 18 or 19 storeys. Forming a substantial part of Liverpool’s northern city-centre regeneration pipeline, the project aims to boost housing supply and revitalize the commercial district. Finalising the Section 106 agreement settles developer contributions and local infrastructure obligations, marking a crucial administrative step before construction crews can eventually break ground on the site.
