Liverpool developer Legacie hits major milestone on a £200m residential project on the edge of Liverpool city centre comprising 656 homes. Tony McDonough reports
Liverpool developer Legacie has held a topping out ceremony for its £200m Liverpool residential scheme, The Gateway.
Work is well advanced on The Gateway which was first announced in August 2023. It will comprise 656 apartments and will offer a selection of one, two and three-bedroom homes.
Located on Leeds Street, on the edge of the city centre, the scheme comprises four towers connected by a landscaped seventh-floor skybridge – the first of its kind in the city. It has been designed by architects at Falconer Chester Hall.
Attending the topping out ceremony was Liverpool City Region Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram and Steve Reed, Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government.
The Gateway will feature a double-height Garden Spa, a jacuzzi experience pool, steam room, infrared sauna, cryotherapy and oxygen chambers, flotation tanks, and aromatherapy showers. There will also be a private gym and relaxation spaces.
John Morley, chief executive of Legacie Developments, said: “The topping out of The Gateway marks a major milestone in both the realisation of our original vision for the site and the wider regeneration of the Pumpfields district.”
More than 90% of apartments at The Gateway have already been sold by Legacie’s exclusive sales partner, RWinvest. The two have partnered on a number of Liverpool projects.

Michael Gledhill, director of RWinvest, added: “Legacie’s work on The Gateway really shows what Liverpool’s development sector can achieve.
“It’s more than just new homes – it’s creating jobs, training opportunities, and long-term investment in one of the city’s key growth corridors. Projects like this are exactly why we remain so confident in Liverpool’s regeneration story.”
