THE BEST VIEWS IN LIVERPOOL: OVER THE WATER AND INTO THE FUTURE – TOBACCO WAREHOUSE, LIVERPOOOL

Combining modern luxury with Manhattan loft style and unique heritage features,
overlooking the still waters of Stanley Dock, the River Mersey and Liverpool skyline, the apartments at Tobacco Warehouse are not only fantastically positioned for views over the current surrounding historic landscape but will also provide buyers with the best seat in the house as the cityscape continues to evolve.

Tobacco Warehouse apartments, the residential part of the £250 million (completed value) regeneration of Stanley Dock into a leading leisure destination, offer a choice of three main views over thirteen floors. All the apartments are dual aspect, with views to an inner courtyard and externally to either Stanley Dock, the River Mersey, South Lane, or city centre skyline.

Riverside view apartments offer a main view towards the flowing waters of the River Mersey, with Collingwood Dock and the Gothic Revival clock tower, Victoria Tower, within the middle ground. Victoria Tower was constructed between 1847 and 1848 to commemorate the opening of Salisbury Dock and provides a fascinating focal point, with its irregular shaped blocks of granite forming a central hexagonal column topped with an overhanging castellated parapet, visible from all the Riverside view apartments.

South City view apartments offer a main view over South Lane which will be a vibrant civic space with retail, restaurants, office, and cultural space right on the doorstep. Upper-level South City view apartments have views towards Pier Head and Liverpool’s city centre skyline including Liverpool Cathedral which began construction in 1904 and is the fifth largest cathedral in the world.

Dockside view apartments offer a main view across the calming waters of Stanley Dock to the Grade-II* Victorian architecture of Titanic Hotel, created in 2013-14 from the adjacent North Warehouse, and now one of Liverpool’s most luxurious hotels with a restaurant / grill, cocktail bar, and health club. The new 52,888-seater Everton Football Club stadium is also visible from this view, due to open to the public in 2024, it will be a new iconic landmark on the waterfront in Liverpool. This variation of view within the apartments at Tobacco Warehouse is unrivalled in the surrounding Liverpool area.

According to Liverpool: A Northern Powerhouse, a new housing market research report with data from Dataloft, produced by Tobacco Warehouse agents Logic Estates, Liverpool is a city on the move, guided by its maritime heritage and culture, the historic docks are once more the jewel in the city’s crown. The regeneration of its iconic waterfront and old docks is creating a new residential quarter, new business locations, a new recreation and leisure destination, and a new sports stadium.

While the waterfront is already a wonderful place to live and explore, the continuing redevelopment of Liverpool Docks will redefine waterside living in Liverpool and the city itself. The 30-year vision, started in 2018, is already transforming the city’s northern docks as a vibrant, world-class, mixed-use waterfront, location emerges.

Stanley Dock sits proudly at the centre of the largest and most complete system of historic docks around the world. Comprising three architecturally and historically important buildings, including the monumental Tobacco Warehouse, Stanley Dock and its surrounding structures are listed as Grade II* or II – creating a memorable and distinctive urban industrial landscape.

Tobacco Warehouse is perfectly positioned to benefit from the vibrant, mixed-use waterfront location that is fast emerging with buyers owning a first-class seat to watch as the neighbourhood flourishes, stepped just back from the main city skyline. Many of the warehouses in the surrounding Ten Streets area are Listed, and so the development heights permitted within those streets are limited. This means that the views from Tobacco Warehouse will remain over time, including that of Collingwood Dock Clocktower, and will only be enhanced, not blocked, as the city and docks develop.

Pat Power, Director of Stanley Dock Properties says: “The views from the apartments at Tobacco Warehouse truly are one of the best in Liverpool. We offer buyers a choice between three unique, varied aspects. We are proud that Tobacco Warehouse provides a full spectrum of properties all offering generous amounts of space, including apartments perfect for owner occupiers and investors in trophy residences and penthouses.”

The current and planned amenities at Stanley Dock provide residents of Tobacco Warehouse with an outstanding range of lifestyle facilities and places to entertain, exercise and relax on their doorstep, Liverpool’s premier residential and lifestyle address. Stanley Dock Properties has recently been granted detailed planning consent from Liverpool City Council to transform the historic Grade II* listed Victorian Hydraulic Pumphouse Station in Stanley Dock into Liverpool’s finest waterfront restaurant, a circa 4,400 sq ft (410 sq m) destination eatery able to seat up to 200 diners.

One of the most architecturally and historically important buildings on the Liverpool waterfront, Tobacco Warehouse, has a grand and elegant 13 storey façade with tall windows, ornate pediment, brick pilaster columns and lettering carved in brickwork and terracotta.

All the apartments within Tobacco Warehouse retain the industrial architecture of the original building and are exceptionally large, ranging in size from 950 sq ft up to 2,750 sq ft, comprising two- or three-bedroom duplex apartments and two-bedroom penthouses on the top floor, that open onto private wraparound terraces.

Apartments at Tobacco Warehouse are available priced from £270,000.
