TORUS: TRANSFORMING LIGHTBODY STREET

Chris Bowen, Managing Director of Torus Developments

Ripple effect

We understand that a strong local foundation is essential for growing strong communities. We have spearheaded numerous initiatives aimed at enhancing the lives of residents in these and other areas by focusing on delivering affordable, high-quality housing to provide families and individuals with secure and comfortable places to call home.

Regenerating forgotten areas

Lightbody Street is the first new build residential development of its kind in this part of the city, with Torus investing over £40million to provide genuinely affordable housing options in an exciting location, we are proud to be leading the way in regenerating an area that has previously been overlooked but is set for a bright future with Bramley Moore Dock, Liverpool Waters and Ten Streets close by.

You will know that Torus is a leading housing and regeneration group that strives to make a positive impact across the North West but did you know the scale of our involvement in transformation in the local area?

With a commitment to building great homes, creating thriving neighbourhoods, and empowering people to live well and succeed, Torus has been at the forefront of positive change, helping to improve the way people live, work, and connect for many years.

By revitalising the local housing landscape and enhancing community spaces, Torus has helped in the improvement of physical environments and encouraged a sense of pride and belonging among residents, creating a positive ripple effect throughout entire communities.

Last year, after receiving planning permission to build 185 apartments and ten townhouses, our main contractor, Eric Wright Construction, broke ground on a landmark development at a disused brownfield, former industrial site on Lightbody Street in Liverpool’s historic Stanley Dock.

This development will also contain a new commercial space within the development that will add further value to the community by creating opportunities for local businesses to open premises in a world-renowned location. By using brownfield sites in this way, we are we are helping to protect our local green spaces and regenerate these underutilised and forgotten areas back into thriving communities. It is intended that the development is connected into Peel Energy’s Mersey Heat network to provide low carbon, cost effective heat and power to Lightbody Street.
