North Point is being developed and built by PHD1 for investment client Industrial Workshop (Pall Mall) Ltd. The scheme has been designed by Liverpool architect Blok.
A number of existing buildings at 70-90 Pall Mall will be demolished and replaced by a series of buildings ranging from seven to 10 storeys high, containing apartments and offices. An 18-storey tower will stand at one end of the development, representing a gateway location to the city centre from the north.
Old warehouse frontages at the site will be retained to maintain an architectural link with the heritage of the area.
PHD1 expects to be on site by July 2015 and complete in November 2017.
Blok managing director Antonio Garcia said: “We wanted to create a development that will be hugely appealing on several levels – as a place to live, work, relax and socialise. The tower adds a dramatically visible landmark to fix the location of the development and the addition of the roof gardens will bring a unique aspect to city centre living.”
PHD1 chairman Peter McInnes said: “North Point will establish itself as a distinct destination, open up a different kind of urban living and take the expansion of the city centre outwards in a new direction.”
