“City centre location is pretty nice. Its super safe as its right in the middle of town. Tescos is onsite which is great. There is nothing that I dislike about the area.” – Luke, Verified Resident of The Cargo Building

The Baltic Triangle has been named as one of the hippest places in the UK and The Cargo Building has received some of the highest ratings for a development on HomeViews. With independent bars, exhibition spaces and music venues it is not your average city centre. Another one of the best developments to live in Liverpool is Brunswick Park.

Near to Woolton is Aigburth, an affordable, yet upmarket area. Located on the river Mersey are a number of large Victorian town houses as well as new developments to buy or rent in Liverpool with views of Sefton Park.

Amazing place to live

Plaza 1821 is very central and has absolutely stunning views, as well as a restaurant downstairs. The concierge is extremely helpful and just wonderful people overall.

Please review your development:

There’s Moose Coffee downstairs that provides resident discount – super, super useful. Sainbury’s just recently opened literally 1 minute away. The only thing lacking here is an on-site gym, but besides everything is just perfect. The management and concierge is very helpful and very friendly.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

There isn’t really anything – I moved in here because of the water view and everything has been even better than expected.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

They always reply very promptly and any issues are solved immediately

Amazing, modern place to live – perfect location

Super close to the city centre so you have loads of amazing independent cafes, bars and restaurants at your fingertips. 5 minute walk from Moorfields station and only 25 mins from Lime Street. The main street can get busy around rush hour if you need to drive through town, it’s also a bit noisy at night because it’s such a main road for emergency vehicles etc. Prince’s Dock is very quiet and always feels safe. There’s a shared bin room downstairs which never rounds out of space for your rubbish and recycling.

Please review your development:

The flats are really modern with great appliances and some more hi tech elements, though you need to work out how to use them (thermostat via the app etc). The views are obviously stunning. From the front and back of the building it feels private, though if you’re in a balcony flat you obviously do lose privacy from the side windows as there is another high rise next door.
The concierge team are second to none. They are so friendly and respond to everything really quickly, always happy to help.
The lifts do break down occasionally and the car park can get messy with rubbish (because it’s so windy!) but nothing that the property managers can help to be honest.
It’s really handy having the post lockers and the concierge will sign for parcels for you.
I’ve never used the downstairs cafe Moose as it’s super expensive.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Good – how much the concierge/property management will be willing to help you out with, I’ve never felt so lucky as a tenant! Also, the balconies are a suntrap in the summer because of the direction that they face and you get beautiful sunsets in front of your window too.
Bad – because of the building’s location it is very much a wind tunnel down our end of the docks. The flats can get noisy as wind blows through the buildings.
In the middle – the windows do all get cleaned but it’s not very often. The windows and balconies get filthy when it’s bad weather so you tend to have to live with it for a few months at a time.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Very quickly. Any requested maintenance has been organised fast and any fixes are usually sorted within a matter of days.

Great Place to Live! Amazing Location :)

Love that there is parking nearby & residents are offered a bit of a discount. They’ve just open a Sainsbury’s next door so that’s very convenient. The docks are just a 15 minute walk or so away. And Liverpool one shopping centre is close by as well. Overall an amazing location.

Please review your development:

Very modern design, which I love. Great space, lovely views and very quiet. The only thing I wish they had was maybe a rooftop area with a bit of greenery or a gym. That would just bring this amazing apartment to a 11/10 instead of a 10/10. Other than that Plaza 1821 is great!

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Wish I knew that the breakfast place downstairs was so good!

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

With quickness and efficacy. Overall great customer service and building management.

Nothing to complain about

Everything is perfect for me so far except 1 thing, the grocery store. To get to the nearest grocery store, we have to walk about 10 min and we have to cross the main road. Fortunately, Local Sainburys store is opened few days ago. The store is just 1 min walk, so convenient. My 1 problem has been solved now.

Please review your development:

Design and facilities are perfect for me. I have 1 suggestion for the management regarding social connections with the people living in the same building. I would suggest to create an App that allows people to interact with each other. This is very useful if someone needs any assistance, marketplace (selling/buying)

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

On my first day, the concierge gave me the contact details of utilities providers for me to contact them for setting new account for me. I struggled a bit as I am expat and I am not familiar with the process and procedures. I wished if the management take care of that.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

I have not experienced any issues yet. Generally I speak to the concierge when I need any help, the staff are friendly and helpful.
