Legacie tops out 656-apartment Liverpool scheme, The Gateway
Liverpool developer, Legacie has marked a key construction milestone after topping out its flagship residential scheme, The Gateway, in the city’s Pumpfields district.
The topping-out ceremony last week was attended by Steve Reed MP, Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, and Steve Rotheram, Mayor of the Liverpool City Region, highlighting the scheme’s role in ongoing city regeneration.
Once complete, The Gateway will deliver 656 apartments across four towers, linked by a landscaped seventh-floor skybridge. The development is located within minutes of Liverpool’s business district and waterfront.

Luxury amenities and wellness facilities
Designed by Falconer Chester Hall, the scheme includes a double-height Garden Spa with a Jacuzzi experience pool, steam room, infrared sauna, cryotherapy and oxygen chambers, flotation tanks, aromatherapy showers, a private gym, fitness studios and relaxation areas.
The design aims to integrate wellness-focused amenities within high-density city living.
Apprenticeships and local skills development
During the visit, Reed and Rotheram met former and current apprentices from Legacie’s Bright Futures Scheme, which provides full-time, paid construction apprenticeships to support young talent. Legacie plans to expand apprenticeship intake across construction and commercial divisions.
Steve Reed MP said:
“When I said build, baby, build this is exactly what I meant. I am so proud to visit a scheme like The Gateway – it is a project that will transform landscapes and support communities. The Gateway serves as a reminder of our need to support builders to boost our economy and help us achieve our ambitious target of building 1.5 million homes across England.”

Steve Rotheram, Mayor of the Liverpool City Region, added:
“Every new development like this gives local people access to decent, affordable homes, and that regeneration brings real benefits: good jobs, new opportunities and pride in our communities. That’s the difference devolution makes.”
