Ascot Capital Pursuing Full Acquisition of £250M Liverpool 1 Development Site

Ascot Capital, a funding and acquisitions arm of the Liverpool-based Ascot Group, has confirmed its intention to secure a deal with administrators to acquire all three phases of a longstanding £250 million stalled development project in the heart of Liverpool 1.

Ascot originally entered the project as a funding partner and debt holder, supporting efforts to stabilise the site following delays. The company is now actively working toward purchasing the full site outright a 5-acre city centre location that has remained dormant for several years despite its enormous potential.

If the acquisition is successful, Ascot Group intends to completely redesign the previously consented scheme. Early-stage feasibility studies suggest the opportunity to deliver up to 900 new homes through a mixed-use regeneration approach. The goal is to create a vibrant, forward-thinking development that complements Liverpool’s city centre expansion and addresses long-standing housing demand.

This move would further reinforce Ascot Group’s position as one of the few privately funded firms capable of unlocking high-value, complex, or paused development opportunities in the UK’s core cities.

Ascot Group and Ascot Capital are also actively seeking new city centre land and development opportunities across:

• Liverpool

• Manchester

• Leeds

• Birmingham

• Glasgow
