UK: A Grade II-listed derelict Victorian warehouse in Liverpool is to be converted into luxury apartments.
Heap’s Rice Mill, on Beckwith Street, will be converted into more than 500 apartments in the original warehouse building and three new blocks around the site. There will also be commercial areas for retail, food and drink, and leisure purposes.
Developers One Park Lane Limited have been given planning permission for the £130 million scheme which will include 123 apartments in the mill building with three further buildings consisting of 194 apartments and 200 serviced apartments in blocks ranging from 10 to 14 storeys.
The mill building, in the Baltic Triangle area, was an operational mill until 2005 but has been empty since then. Dating back to the 1780s, it was once used for preparing rice for Kellogg’s Rice Krispies.</p
