Former Reece’s ballroom in Liverpool city centre as the venue for the wedding reception of John and Cynthia Lennon and is now being converted to luxury apartments. Tony McDonough reports.

Computer-generated images of how new apartments at a former well-known Liverpool ballroom will look have been released by the scheme’s developer.

In 1962 Reece’s Ballroom in Parker Street in the city centre was the venue for the wedding reception of John and Cynthia Lennon.

Now Caro Developments is converting it into 91 studio and one-bedroom apartments and is renaming it the Parker Street Residences.

It was reported earlier this month that investors have now snapped up all of the apartments off-plan.

Nobles Construction is currently working to strengthen the steel framework of the building to make way for an additional two floors.

The latest CGIs reveal how the apartments will look following the completion of the studio and one-bedroom apartments.

Initially only released to investors, Caro is now giving the public a look at the images revealing the future vision for the iconic building.

Lee Darwen, operations director at Caro, said: “These CGIs really put into perspective the vision that we have for the building.

“Falconer Chester Hall has designed a clean, open plan concept for the apartments and we believe the strength of the images highly contributed to the sales of the units.

“Looking at photographs of the ballroom before work began shows the true change that is taking place in to create the Parker Street Residences.”
