No.1 Kings

No.1 Kings is a new-build, 28-storey residential tower forming the first phase of Liverpool’s £1bn Kings waterfront regeneration scheme. As the pathfinder project within the eight-acre masterplan, it will establish the quality, scale and character of the wider development. The scheme combines 255 one, two and three-bedroom apartments with shared amenities and extensive outdoor terraces. Balancing this ambition with the client’s investment objectives required careful management of design development and costs to support a commercially viable scheme.

G&T is providing Cost Management services through the design and pre-construction stages, working closely with the client and wider consultant team. Our role includes cost planning, cost advice and monitoring, providing clear information to support decisions as the proposals develop. By assessing design changes and identifying their cost implications, we are helping the team balance residential quality and amenity provision with the available budget, keeping the scheme aligned with the client’s commercial objectives.

With planning consent secured and preparations for construction progressing, No.1 Kings will introduce 255 new homes to Liverpool’s waterfront. A residents’ lounge, gym, dedicated workspace and generous outdoor terraces with panoramic views will offer spaces for relaxation, work and socialising. As the first building in the Kings masterplan, the tower will set the benchmark for subsequent phases of regeneration. G&T’s cost advice is helping maintain budget control and support informed decisions as the project moves towards delivery.
