Over 1,300 tonnes of steel will be used to create the student accommodation and hotel. Work on the frames is expected to be finished by autumn.

Ion Development, Liverpool City Council and Sigma Capital form the partnership behind the scheme, with Ion carrying out the project on behalf of site owner, Curlew Student Trust.
