A proposed £1.2bn transformation of King’s Dock by Beetham and Davos — around 2,750 homes across six buildings and a 70-storey tower that would be Liverpool’s tallest. At public consultation; no homes on sale yet.
Kings Waterfront is the proposed £1.2bn transformation of King’s Dock — the stretch of Liverpool’s waterfront around the arena, just south of the Albert Dock — by a joint venture of Beetham Group and Davos Property. The plans, which opened to public consultation in May 2026, propose around 2,750 homes across six residential buildings on an 8-acre site arranged in three zones: homes to the north, leisure at the centre, and offices bridging toward the business district.
The flagship is a 70-storey SimpsonHaugh-designed tower — which would be Liverpool’s tallest building — combining around 400 hotel rooms with 500+ branded residences, alongside 150,000 sq ft of offices, 160,000 sq ft of retail, leisure and food space, and an arts venue. One 28-storey tower already holds planning consent; a hybrid application for the wider scheme was expected later in 2026, with the developers still seeking partners for the build-to-rent, branded-residence and hotel elements.
Why it matters: alongside Liverpool Waters to the north, this would put the city’s two waterfront flanks under billion-pound regeneration at once — a major long-term signal for Liverpool’s waterfront market, whatever the final form of this scheme.

You cannot buy at Kings Waterfront, and no pricing exists. If marketing material invokes this scheme to sell you something today, what’s actually for sale is somewhere else — treat it accordingly. The proposal is at consultation; planning, funding, partners and phasing all sit ahead of any sales launch, and large waterfront schemes routinely change shape between proposal and delivery.
What the proposal does change now is context. £1.2bn of intended investment beside the Albert Dock strengthens the long-term case for the southern waterfront — relevant if you own or are weighing existing stock nearby. For buyable Liverpool waterfront today, our Liverpool Waters profile covers completed stock from around £120,000; our Property Intelligence hub tracks the rest of the city’s pipeline as it verifies.

Not yet — the scheme is at public consultation (May 2026), with a hybrid application expected later in 2026. One 28-storey tower is consented, but nothing is on sale or priced, and any launch is years away.
A £1.2bn Beetham + Davos proposal for King’s Dock: ~2,750 homes in six buildings on 8 acres, a 70-storey SimpsonHaugh tower (Liverpool’s tallest, with 400 hotel rooms and 500+ branded residences), plus offices, leisure and an arts venue.
Unconfirmed. Application expected later 2026; determination, funding and phasing follow. Schemes this size typically build over a decade+ once started. We review quarterly.
Nothing exists to invest in yet. The proposal strengthens the southern waterfront’s long-term case — context for nearby stock, not an opportunity itself. Be wary of marketing that suggests otherwise.
Kings Waterfront is a Monitoring profile — details will change as the scheme moves. We re-verify quarterly; follow Hall’s Homes UK to catch updates as the application lands and partners are confirmed.
