Designs for Liverpool skyscraper revealed

Impressive.

I love this! Hopefully both towers will see the light of day. They look magnificent!

Stylish! It’s nice seeing buildings proposed that aren’t bland boxes.

Looks fantastic!!!!

I thought it was 48 floors? Lovely buildings though

Like the design, but the height to width seems a bit jarring to me. Another 5 to 10 floors would help?

Nice. Like the textural element to the design.

This knocks 99% of the stuff we are getting in Manchester into a cocked hat. Jealous….

I count 48 floors in the render. I would welcome a further 10-15 storeys though.

Gorgeous. Hope the curves survive Value Engineering!

Looks like a good scheme but it will be a shame to see the mirrored building go, I’ve always liked it.

Great to see some more interesting architectural designs for a change!

Looks great, I hope it goes ahead.

Yes please. Now get it built

These will sit just nicely on the stunning Liverpool Skyline.

With these two great additions and further talls envisaged for the Leeds street corridor, this whole area will be a really good expansion of the City centre, things are definitely looking “up” for Liverpool in more ways than one.

Looks expensive. I doubt the residential values in the Liverpool market exist to deliver the design as shown.

The site is perfect for such a design, views right across Liverpool Bay and the ideal city backdrop. It’s designs like this in locations like this that are gonna push up the values. No city in England can deliver locations like that.

It’s like the heart at Media city.

If we are all honest, its never going to get built is it. Values in Liverpool can no way support it.

Separately though, great looking scheme, why can Hodder deliver something like this in Liverpool but just come up with utter dross for their home city?

I’m disappointed that both towers appear to lack any features that will activate the streetscape (e.g., retail). Adding that many homes without trying to improve Leeds Street is a significant missed opportunity.

The white palette of the facade is important and shows that Hodder have understood that this is a distinguishing feature of Liverpool’s historic downtown, its signature buildings all being in Portland stone. From 3XNs museum to the Indian Buildings this gives a highly characteristic and impressive effect along the entire waterfront. Fantastic, just build it.

These guys already have a succesful portfolio of apartments in Liverpool, so I guess they know the market and what it’s limitations are.

It would be good to read stories on PNW about Liverpool without also having to endure below the line comments which are very obviously “troll” comments from people trying to talk down Liverpool’s prospects out of parochial envy.

Of course “values in Liverpool” support such developments, hence they are being proposed.

With other developments planned in the city too, Liverpool is beginning to rival Dubai.

Would be good to see some additional, innovative green space around this development too.

Stunning

Many developers seriously believe Liverpool will eventually surpass other northern cities; they’re in it for the long term and their not just counting short-term returns.

Tall buildings are expensive and risky; curvy tall buildings are even more so. Just because a landowner produces a nice picture does not necessarily mean they intend, or have the means to deliver it.

It’s construction economics that will determine whether this’ll be built or not rather than rhetorical nonsense over the strength of the local economy or a rebuttal to an imaginary sleight.

Gets better and better! Also better than some of the Manchester boxes getting.

Some big developers/investors are passionate about Liverpool. If you were building your house and you were gonna stay it wouldn’t be just about construction economics.

Liverpool is a great place to be lots of goods times ahead !

Funding in place for both projects, investment is pouring in and Liverpool is the Northern City theirall talking about.

Just wait to see what happens if Everton get their waterfront stadium, all of the land around there will suddenly become the hottest property around and Liverpool Waters will finally take off, great times ahead for a city on the up.

Investment won’t be pouring in if values are depressed. That’s a one way bet to lose money on a large complex scheme.

If its not your money I wouldn’t be worried if I were you, unless you are just commenting to try and dis Liverpool and any good news stories that are emerging now.

You guys obviously haven’t been to Leeds recently , their shopping and restaurant scene is miles better, they’re also building far more offices and is more popular with students, this is where the investors will go.

Not keen! Looks like two cheese graters stood next to each other!

All roads/canals/rail led to Liverpool and its all coming back. Not grim like the Pennines… not relentlessly shrouded in mist, wonderful sunsets, and beautiful river and seascapes, and all part of a vibrant modern yet historic city. My family hale from Manchester and the west country, but we settled in Liverpool because it’s a great place to be and a fantastic place to do business.

Yet again this has turned into my Dad’s bigger than your Dad,between Liverpool and Manchester. Plus now Leeds is being dragged in. Liverpudlians accept that this is a good coup for the city and Manchester just carry on with what you are doing. Leeds is not in the North West,but was a fine city when I went last. These cities are vital to the North’s future. Can we not be glad if all of them get good structures? Liverpool and Manchester are closer than East and West London,as are Leeds and Manchester. This parochialism is tedious.

Great seeing our aerial shots used in this way!! http://www.helicamservices.co.uk
