A leading developer is celebrating a decade of growth and a significant contribution to the regeneration of Liverpool.
Legacie, founded by John Morley in 2015, has delivered landmark projects that have revitalised underdeveloped areas, breathed new life into local communities, and contributed to the city’s ever-growing skyline.
Since its inception, the company has developed 3,000 units across 20 buildings, with even more projects on the horizon.
One of Legacie’s most prominent developments is the iconic Parliament Square, a 500-unit residential complex located on the edge of Liverpool’s Baltic Triangle.
Once an industrial wasteland, the area is now home to vibrant, modern homes that have attracted young professionals and families alike. The development has become a symbol of the area’s regeneration, with sleek architecture and contemporary design.
‘Parliament Square is one of our proudest achievements. What was once a forgotten part of the city is now an exciting place to live and work,’ said John Morley, Founder and CEO of Legacie. ‘It’s projects like these that demonstrate our commitment to not just building, but shaping the future of Liverpool.’
Other standout projects include Ropemaker Place, a cutting-edge residential development that blends modern living with sustainability. The project, featuring 250 high-end apartments just minutes from the city’s commercial hub, provides a prime example of the company’s dedication to quality and innovation.
Legacie has also earned praise for taking on stalled schemes and bringing them back to life. Notably, Element The Quarter, a striking £80 million mixed-use development, has redefined Liverpool’s business district.
The project consists of state-of-the-art office spaces, luxury apartments, and vibrant retail outlets, creating a dynamic community in a once-neglected part of the city. The scheme was developed in partnership with Nexus Residential.
Legacie has become synonymous with the Build to Rent (BTR) market in Liverpool and the wider North West. Unlike traditional developers, the company controls every stage of the process – from acquisition and design to construction, letting, property management, and ongoing asset care.
Projects such as One Baltic Square, One Park Lane, and the forthcoming Heaps Mill are prime examples of this approach.
Heaps Mill promises to be another game-changer. Situated on the historic site of Heaps Mill, this new project will transform the area into a modern residential complex, with a focus on heritage and design excellence.
The development will feature an impressive spa, swimming pool, and other leisure facilities, all while celebrating the city’s maritime heritage and preserving many of the structure’s original Victorian features.
‘These projects represent our long-term vision for Liverpool,’ Morley explains. ‘We are incredibly proud of the impact we’ve had on the city’s skyline and economy. What sets us apart is that we manage every aspect of the Build to Rent process, and we’re excited about what the future holds. Our goal is to continue shaping this great city for generations to come.’
Legacie’s growth over the past decade, in partnership with investment sales agent RWInvest, has been remarkable. The developer is now poised to become one of the largest and most influential property developers in the UK. As the company enters its next phase, it shows no signs of slowing down, with several more projects in the pipeline, including developments in Manchester, Luton, and other major UK cities.
