Ten Streets & northern Liverpool
Love Lane: 507 homes planned for Liverpool.
The £110 million scheme, now marketed as City Walk, would transform four sites around Love Lane and Pall Mall with apartments, commercial space and a new linear park.
Updated October 2026
Approved, sold to a new delivery team, and moving towards construction.
Planning permission for 507 apartments was granted in 2024. The project was subsequently acquired from Sourced Developments by Habita and rebranded as City Walk.
In June 2026, Equityway Holdings confirmed that BDP Construction had joined the project team and was targeting a Q4 2026 start, subject to the remaining pre-construction and Building Safety Regulator process.
As of this update, we have not found a reliable public confirmation that main construction has physically started, so we are treating the scheme as pre-construction rather than describing it as underway.

The masterplan
What is planned at Love Lane?
The consented scheme covers four sites between the Ten Streets regeneration area and Eldonian Village, including three plots around Love Lane and another further south at Pall Mall.
Railway heritage
Arches brought back into use
Redundant railway arches and subterranean spaces are intended to be retained and repurposed, with more than 10,000 sq ft of commercial space included in the proposals.
Public realm
A 200-metre linear park
The scheme includes new landscaped public space intended to connect the separate development plots and soften a part of the city historically dominated by rail and industrial uses.
Why this location matters
Between Ten Streets, the city centre and the northern docks.
Love Lane sits within a wider part of north Liverpool that is changing quickly. To the west are Ten Streets and Liverpool Waters, while the commercial core of the city begins further south.
Hill Dickinson Stadium has added another major destination to the northern waterfront, while the council's wider Pumpfields and Limekilns planning framework is intended to guide thousands of further homes across the surrounding district.

How Love Lane reached this point.
The scheme has changed hands since it was first proposed, so older articles can give a misleading impression of who is actually responsible for delivering it today.

Beyond one development
A useful page to watch as north Liverpool changes.
Love Lane sits close to several of Liverpool's biggest regeneration initiatives. That makes the scheme relevant not only to prospective residents, but to anyone following how the northern edge of the city centre is evolving.
