Darren Jones MP, Chief Secretary to the Treasury, and Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram visited Legacie’s flagship [Parliament Square](https://legacie.co.uk/developments/parliament-square/) project in the Baltic area of Liverpool on Thursday (6 February 2025).

The £100 million residential and commercial development has transformed the local landscape, with a range of over 500 apartments and amenities, including a new coffee shop, restaurant, forthcoming supermarket, and a public piazza area.

Parliament Square is one of Legacie’s largest developments to date and has been an extraordinary regeneration success story. Built on what was once industrial land and the site of warehouses that had stood part vacant for decades, the development stands as a shining example of what can be achieved through ambitious development and investment.

Legacie’s work, along with its development partner RW Invest, has brought new life to this part of Liverpool’s city centre, delivering both investment and jobs while significantly enhancing the local economy.

During his visit, Chief Secretary to the Treasury Darren Jones MP praised the progress made at Parliament Square, acknowledging the regeneration and economic impact of the development.

He also highlighted the importance of projects like this, and Legacie’s forthcoming development schemes including the redevelopment of [Heaps Mill](https://legacie.co.uk/developments/heaps-mill/) and [One Park Lane](https://legacie.co.uk/developments/one-park-lane/), in fostering economic growth and job creation in Liverpool.
