Chinese builder Beijing Construction & Engineering Group International is believed to be close to signing a deal to deliver a 34-storey tower on the vast Liverpool Waters scheme in the North West.
Carillion had previously been in talks with build to rent developer Moda to deliver the Lexington tower, which will be the tallest development at Princes Dock on the city’s waterfront.
A contract deal is expected to be announced shortly, according to business website Place North West and would be a major coup for BCEGI.
Until now the Chinese builder has mainly worked in Manchester but is expanding in Liverpool.
In Manchester it has just started the second phases of the £1bn Middlewood Locks PRS development for Scarborough Group and Fairbriar International and is on board
for Gary Neville’s St Michael’s development in the city.
BCEGI is also a construction partner on Manchester Airport Group’s Airport City development, where Carillion was also engaged as a delivery partner.
The Liverpool Waters tower, designed by Falconer Chester Hall architects, has been called the Lexington because its apes the New York-style design.
It will house 304 private rental apartments, with communal facilities including a 17th floor residents’ lounge, gym, a roof, terrace, a garden and a cinema.
