Developer Integritas Property Group breaks ground on £41.5m residential scheme in Liverpool. Tony McDonough reports

A developer has started work on a £41.5m residential development close to Liverpool city centre.

Integritas Property Group (IPG) has broken ground on the project, called Bastion, in Naylor Street in Vauxhall. The first phase, Bastion Point, will see the delivery of 67 one and two-bedroom apartments for rent. It is due for completion in autumn 2023.

IPG is leading the scheme with Van Elle and Melbrooke Services subcontracted under an enabling works package to carry out the augured piling work and groundworks respectively.

Following the enabling work, Abrey Construction will then carry out the full four-phase works package. Including the announced phases Bastion Point and Central Point.

Designed by Snow Architects, residents will have access to a landscaped communal garden, bicycle storage, and a dedicated concierge, plugging the gap for much-needed high-quality rentals in the area.

Part of the development will be for retail units that will be available to rent as cafes, shops and other leisure facilities.

Mitchell Walsh, managing director at IPG, said: “We’re really pleased to be breaking ground on the Bastion development, this is an important step in what will be a great addition to the Liverpool residential market.

“We’re proud to be working with such a fantastic pool of local talent within our supply chain, offering jobs to local people and injecting money back into the city.”
