Office buildings previously home to a famous Liverpool hardware brand have been earmarked to become a new 24-bed hotel.
Plans have been drawn up by the Wellington Building Company to transform the former home of Rapid Hardware based on Renshaw Street into a new hotel. The building is currently occupied by Vanquish Law, but according to documents made available by Liverpool Council’s planning department, the law firm is to relocate from the two-storey site to a new location in the city.
An application cover letter said owing to the building’s current state of vacancy, its “efficient and swift reuse is a priority.” The application for the 24-bed set up would cover the entirety of the building’s basement, ground and first floors.
