LIVERPOOL – Following a meticulous, highly successful £53m environmental clean-up, land remediation, and subterranean stabilization program managed by Liverpool City Council, a landmark development deal has been officially signed to transform the historic Festival Gardens waterfront site. Award-winning regeneration pioneers Urban Splash and igloo have formally joined forces as the appointed development partners, targeting a comprehensive planning submission by the end of 2027 to construct up to 800 stunning, ultra-sustainable homes.

This celebrated signing brings a highly anticipated, triumphant conclusion to years of complex site preparation, breathing vibrant new life into a cherished piece of Liverpool’s historic maritime coastline. The upcoming multi-phase construction program will focus intensely on biophilic architectural design, low-carbon building materials, and highly innovative off-site manufacturing techniques to reduce on-site waste and speed up delivery.

The masterplan features a series of beautifully integrated green community corridors, active coastal walkways, and multi-generational public realms that pay homage to the site's rich horticultural heritage. For Liverpool's construction supply chain, the joint venture represents a massive, multi-year pipeline of high-value civil, structural, and fit-out contracts. This stellar project stands as a shining example of how complex, challenging brownfield land can be successfully redeemed to create breathtaking, forward-thinking neighborhoods that beautifully balance ecological preservation with high-performance modern housing.
