Below are sub-sections for the tallest under construction, approved and proposed buildings and structures in Liverpool. Cancelled projects are not included. Height figures are rounded to the nearest metre.
Under construction This lists buildings that are under construction in Liverpool (over 49 m).
Approved This lists buildings that have been approved for, but are yet to start, construction in Liverpool (over 49 m).
Liverpool Waters (2007).
Liverpool Waters is a large scale, £5.5bn
regeneration project of the
Vauxhall dockland areas of Liverpool that is currently under development by
The Peel Group. A thirty year long project, the development is expected to create 21.5 million sq ft of new commercial and residential floor space and will consist of upwards of seventy buildings, with many classed as high-rise. The plans, submitted to
Liverpool City Council in 2010, were approved in 2012; approval was reaffirmed by the
UK Government in 2013. Construction of the very first building of the scheme eventually commenced five years later in 2018; The original proposal included a large array of skyscrapers, compared with the likes of
New York and
Shanghai. However, due to concerns from, primarily,
Historic England and
UNESCO, regarding the impact of tall buildings to
Liverpool's World Heritage Status, the plans have been revised multiple times, resulting in building heights vastly scaled down. Extensive redesigns notwithstanding, the current version of the master-plan still includes several plots of the site reserved for notable high-rises set to transform Liverpool's skyline in the next couple of decades. Plots poised to be populated by a structure over 100 metres are listed in the table below: (Note the below heights do not refer to that of a currently proposed building. They are the maximum permitted height for any future building designed for that plot, as agreed with planning officers.) ==Timeline of tallest buildings and structures==
