Liverpool's Tobacco Warehouse luxury apartments hit the market

Hundreds of apartments are set to go on sale at Liverpool's famous Stanley Dock Tobacco Warehouse.

The iconic Grade II-Listed building has been restored and converted into a £130m residential development after laying derelict for decades.

Completed by Stanley Dock Properties Ltd, the first phase of almost 200 apartments will be completed in 2020, with some units ready for occupation in the first half of the year.

Prices will start at £215,000, with the average apartment size approximately 1,400 sq. ft.

This is roughly double the size of a standard apartment on the market.

The warehouse’s original architectural details have also been preserved, including exposed brick walls, cast-iron structural columns, concrete ceiling beams and a unique two-floor layout, reminiscent of New York ‘loft living’.

The ground floor will feature up to 100,000 sq. ft of retail and commercial space for shops, restaurants and offices.

Plans have also been revealed to create a pedestrian walkway encircling Stanley Dock which will be open to residents and guests.

The luxurious apartments will also benefit from dual aspect views overlooking Liverpool's UNESCO world heritage waterfront and a central courtyard.

Stanley Dock Properties Ltd has appointed solicitors Jackson Lees Group as its advisers on the landmark development.

Angela Hesketh, group head of property at Jackson Lees Group, said: “We’re extremely pleased to have been appointed to advise on this landmark scheme, which will play an important role in revitalising the North Docks and is breathing new life into one of Liverpool’s most iconic and much-loved buildings.

“Ensuring a strong flow of high-quality residential developments is key to ensuring Liverpool remains an attractive destination for inward investment and is able to enjoy sustainable, secure long-term growth.

"We’re delighted to be a part of that process and look forward to working closely with Stanley Dock Properties Ltd on this project.”
