Broadway Malyan’s 30 Pall Mall scheme in Liverpool has received detailed planning permission, being praised by planners for its “high quality architecture and modern design”.
The £70m scheme, located in the heart of the city’s business district, will open up thousands of jobs in Liverpool, providing 22,000m² of new grade A office space, in what is the city centre’s biggest ever single commercial office development.
The design comprises two separate buildings, one of 8 storeys, the other of 9, with an 18 storey tower, all clad in a three dimensional textured façade. These buildings are linked by a glazed public courtyard, with the development including active ground floor uses such as cafes, restaurants and shops that will spill into this central space. The scheme will achieve BREEAM ‘Excellent’ energy efficiency rating, with the design utilising natural ventilation through its perforated metal façade and maximising natural light penetration to reduce energy use as much as possible.
The scheme will kick-start the expansion of the area, acting as a catalyst for the regeneration of Pownall Square.

Broadway Malyan has won five contracts to devise innovative plans for ‘low carbon retrofits’ of existing low-rise social housing as part of the £3.5m Retrofit for the Future competition run by the government-backed Technology Strategy Board.
Broadway Malyan was one of the winning organisations, which included housing associations, construction companies, local councils and architects, will be awarded contracts of up to £20,000 for each feasibility project, enabling them to work with suppliers to devise solutions geared towards making deep cuts in the carbon emissions produced by social housing, in turn helping to meet UK government target reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and energy use.
In all, the Technology Strategy Board has earmarked up to £16m for Retrofit for the Future projects that will be delivered in two phases, with this initial competition call constituting Phase 1 of the overall project. From the initial feasibility projects, up to 100 proposals will be invited into a second phase, where the most promising designs are taken through to real builds, culminating in the retrofit and monitoring of up to 100 ‘demonstrator’ houses in early 2010.
