The Quarter - Vermont developments

[Kev]

This is the site that is opposite NORTON SCRAP:

DEVELOPERS plan to transform a run-down corner of Liverpool with a £100m tower block.

The 22-storey high-rise will form the centrepiece of a development set to include housing, office space and an upmarket hotel.

Liverpool firm Vermont today revealed the scheme it wants to build at the junction of Parliament Street and Sefton Street.

If granted the go-ahead for the project, Vermont will create office space for up to 200 workers, a 132-bed four-star boutique hotel and 400 underground car parking spaces.

Alongside them will be 400 homes, made up of town houses and apartments. About 50 of them will be available as part of a shared ownership scheme.

The project will also create hundreds of jobs and training opportunities for local people, pledged the developer.

A planning application has been submitted after 18 months of talks with the council and a decision is expected by early next year.
