A major development in Liverpool city centre faced being mothballed after its original contractor went into liquidation.
Permission was granted for 56 apartments to be built on land around St James Street, Norfolk Street and Brick Street in the Baltic Triangle area of the city back in 2019. An amended proposal for an additional eight was lodged with Liverpool Council a year later.
However, the major scheme which involved the construction of a new tower block up to 10 storeys high faced a bleak future 12 months ago, when as the development was around halfway finished, its contractor Mersey Contractor Limited went into liquidation and work ground to a halt. A new application to finish the work and amend the terms of the development will now be considered by the city council when its planning committee meets again next week.
