About us

Part of
something greater.

Sustainability at the core of Liverpool Waters.

At Liverpool Waters, sustainability is woven into every decision, every street, park, and place. With access to blue and green infrastructure at its heart, Liverpool Waters and Peel care about wellness and the places we create.

Sustainability is at the heart of Liverpool Waters. Peel will ensure that the 60-acre development of parks, public realm, commercial and residential space thoroughly addresses the economic and social needs of the local and wider communities, whilst supporting the national agenda for climate change.

Our ambitions envision thoughtfully developed homes, public parks, commercial spaces, and walking routes.

Liverpool Waters: Sustainability woven into every decision.

Net Zero by 2040

Energy-efficient design and smart building technologies help reduce consumption and align with future climate goals – supporting long-term value for investors, developers and residents.

Low-Carbon Heating

The District Heat Network located within Liverpool Waters delivers reliable, low-carbon energy. It’s future-proofed infrastructure that helps developers cut costs and
meet sustainability targets.

Blue & Green Infrastructure

A two acre park brings nature to the water’s edge – boosting biodiversity, improving air quality, and offering guests a peaceful escape in the flow of city life.

Walkable & Cyclable

Interconnected walking and cycling routes encourage low-impact lifestyles and reduce car dependency – ideal for eco-conscious travellers. Liverpool was ranked as the 12th most walkable city in the world [Insider Monkey].

Empowering Local Talent

The City of Liverpool College Construction Hub at Liverpool Waters is equipping local people with skills and access to apprenticeships – building a workforce that reflects the community it serves.

A Vision for Inclusive Growth

Spanning 150 acres, Liverpool Waters is designed to integrate homes, public parks, commercial spaces, and leisure destinations. This project supports many of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the national climate agenda, and a future where development plays a meaningful role in shaping inclusive, sustainable cities.
