Work commences on 304-room Liverpool hotel

02 September 2019

Newry Construction has begun initial site clearance works for Elliot Group’s latest hotel project overlooking Queen’s Dock in the Liverpool’s Baltic tech district.

The 304-room Norfolk Street property will be the second delivered for Liverpool hotelier Epic Hotels.

The two companies collaborated on the Seel Street Hotel which opened last December in the Ropewalks neighbourhood.

“We’ve submitted a planning application to vary some of the façade treatments and the basement, but we’re cracking on with the initial ground works in the meantime,” said Elliot Lawless of Elliot Group.

“It’s good to be working with Epic Hotels again. They really understand the dynamics of the Liverpool market and their product offer is exceptional.

“Baltic has been crying out for a hotel of this scale and quality to serve the area.”

The hotel is one of three the developer is progressing, having announced plans last week to vary planning applications to include hotel offers at its Aura development, on site in Liverpool’s Knowledge Quarter, and its Park Lane scheme overlooking the Royal Albert Dock.

The development takes to more than £1bn the value of Elliot Group schemes on site or in planning.

The company has live projects in Salford, Liverpool and Gateshead, with Newry also on site at The Address, the final building in Elliot Group’s £100m Wolstenholme Square project.
