City Residence Apartments

Development Overview

City Residence Apartments is a residential new build development by RW Invest, situated at The Tea Factory, 82 Wood Street, in the heart of Liverpool’s Ropewalks district, L1 4DQ. The development occupies a central location within one of Liverpool’s most vibrant and culturally significant areas. The scheme, which may incorporate elements of the existing Tea Factory’s historic industrial architecture—such as exposed brickwork and original steel beams—aims to provide high-specification, city-centre living.

RW Invest, the developer, brings a strong track record to the project, spanning over 20 years of industry experience. The company has received significant recognition, including being named Property Investment Company of the Year for two consecutive years (2023 and 2024) at the YM Liverpool Property and Business Awards, as well as nine titles at the International Property Awards between 2022 and 2024.

Property Details

While specific unit floorplans and purchase prices are subject to availability and current market conditions, the development primarily comprises new build apartment typologies suitable for both owner-occupiers and investors. Typical city-centre new build configurations are expected to include a mix of Studio, 1-bedroom, and 2-bedroom apartments. Interior features, based on the location's commercial specifications, are anticipated to include high-speed fibre broadband, high-specification communal kitchens, and modern fittings. For up-to-date specifications on available plots, completion schedules, and specific floor areas, prospective buyers are advised to contact the developer directly.
