POLICE STATION REDEVELOPMENT IS THE PERFECT MATCH WITH SMARTROOF

The redevelopment and conversion of an iconic Liverpool fire and police station into an affordable housing development required a modern method of construction that offered buildability, speed of construction and cost certainty. Smartroof’s offsite-manufactured modular ‘room in roof’ system met the challenge, playing a significant part in the creation of this greener, more sustainable building scheme.

Immortalised in the Beatles’ song Penny Lane, Allerton Fire and Police Station has been redeveloped by contractor HMS with the former fire station being transformed into two threebedroom and three four-bedroom townhouses and two three-bedroom semi-detached homes, all of which are available via shared ownership. The Torus-owned development will also see the conversion of the former police station into a 40-unit independent living scheme for over 55s, with all apartments available via affordable rent.
