Green light for King Edward Triangle building as planning committee approves landmark

LIVERPOOL City Council's Planning Committee has approved the pathfinder building for the transformational King Edward Triangle regeneration scheme marking a major milestone in the delivery of 1 of the City's most ambitious development projects.

The decision unlocks the 1st site within the long term vision to create a new mixed use waterfront district, delivering high quality homes, commercial space, and public realm improvements on a strategically significant site between:- the City Centre, the North Docks and Liverpool Waters.

Recent Council decisions such as:- the lifting of a restrictive covenant and the conditional sale of land at Great Howard Street were taken to unlock the wider regeneration potential of the area. These steps support the City's long term regeneration objectives by enabling site readiness and improved deliverability.

As part of the Mayoral Development Corporation's focus area, the site forms a crucial bridge between:- Liverpool Waters, Central Docks and the Commercial District, helping expand the City Centre's economic footprint and accelerating growth in 1 of the Region's most strategically important regeneration zones.

This coordinated approach is designed to fast track development, attract inward investment, and strengthen Liverpool's position within the national economy.

The pathfinder building a 28 storey residential led tower will act as the catalyst for the wider masterplan, helping accelerate investment, improve site readiness, and support the regeneration of the surrounding area.

Cllr Nick Small, Cabinet Member for Growth and Economy, said:- "Today's approval is a huge step forward for Liverpool's continued regeneration journey. The King Edward Triangle is a once in a generation opportunity to reshape an underused part of the waterfront, and this pathfinder building is the 1st visible sign of that transformation. It will bring new homes, new jobs and new activity into a part of the City that has long been primed for renewal and it demonstrates the confidence investors and developers continue to place in Liverpool's future."

By improving connectivity between:- the waterfront, the City Centre, and newly emerging destinations such as:- Hill Dickinson Stadium, the wider masterplan will encourage footfall, tourism, and local spending.

The Triangle is viewed as a vital link in creating a vibrant, accessible and economically active Northern spine for Liverpool supporting inclusive growth and ensuring the benefits of regeneration reach communities across the City.

Construction of the pathfinder building is expected to begin later in 2026, subject to signing of a planning legal agreement and site preparation works.
