Liverpool developer Legacie announces completion of two residential developments in the city with one part of the wider £140m Heaps Mill project. Tony McDonough reports
Developer Legacie has announced the completion of two residential schemes in Liverpool’s Baltic District.
It has delivered Millers Place and One Park Lane. Miller’s Place is part of the wider Heaps Mill regeneration project, an ambitious scheme which is centred around the restoration of the Grade-II listed former rice mill.
This scheme offers a mix of studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments along with a concierge, and cycle store. Externally, the building has been designed incorporating Flemish bond brick detailing and aluminium cladding.
Once complete, The Mill will become the centrepiece of the development, blending Liverpool’s industrial past with “contemporary urban living”.
It will feature apartments, a spa, rooftop terraces, a bar / café and museum, a fully equipped gym, as well as commercial units. A newly created public walkway will connect the development to Liverpool waterfront.
Located on a corner site nearby, One Park Lane is a development with a curved glass elevation. It comprises a mix of studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments. It offers waterfront views, along with amenities such as a gym, 24/7 concierge and a cycle store.
Mike Rider, construction director at Legacie, said: “The successful delivery of Millers Place and One Park Lane is testament to the dedication of our project teams, as well as our partners.
“Both developments were complex due to their respective locations and restricted site access, yet they represent a key milestone in the Heaps Mill regeneration. Once fully developed, this will be one of Liverpool’s most ambitious and transformative urban regeneration projects.”

All apartments across both developments have been fully sold through Legacie’s sales partner, RWinvest. The development will be managed by Legacie’s in-house management team, which is now welcoming residents into their new homes.
Martyn Haymes, associate director at architects Falconer Chester Hall added: “Working with Legacie on the first phase of the Heaps Mill masterplan has been a thoroughly rewarding experience.
“The attention to detail in the design reflects the high standards set by the client, delivering a building of real value with a high specification of finish.
“Situated adjacent to the Grade-II listed Mill, we carefully considered the materiality and detailing of the exterior to ensure a modern design that sympathetically complements the heritage of the surrounding architecture.”
