Development of the Month: Mill Lane, Liverpool by Torus

A development of 34 apartments for over 55s was completed by JV North member Torus by HMS in September 2022.

All the units were offered on an affordable rent basis, with over 10% being fully M4(3) compliant.

This included larger openings on doorways and fully adapted wet rooms.

Torus worked closely with ACCESS Liverpool to ensure the homes were offered to customers most in need of the adaptations.

Due to the complexity of the mansard roof, which incorporated a total of five properties, the building was constructed using a steel frame with a full glass curtain wall and sandstone blockwork to the main entrance.

Homes England grant of £1.07 million was secured via JV North.
