Millers Court, Heap’s Mill Development

Millers Court, Heaps Mill Development in Liverpool

Historic Liverpool Rice Mill Transformed Into Ultra-Luxurious Apartments

Millers Court, part of the Heap’s Mill development, situated on the outskirts of Liverpool’s city centre, is poised for a remarkable transformation into a lavish £140m residential development. This historic building, dating back to the late 1700s, once served as the milling grounds for Joseph Heap & Sons, famously grinding rice for Kellogg’s Rice Krispies.

Having remained vacant since 2005, the building secured planning permission for residential use in 2014. Legacie Developments has embarked on the restoration of this Grade II-listed landmark located on the fringes of the Baltic Triangle. Their vision involves the creation of 620 apartments, featuring one and two bedrooms, as well as the inclusion of an underground spa and museum.

DPS Facades Ltd. will be installing APA’s TB50 curtain wall system, ST70 Hi thermally enhanced windows, and ST AOV smoke evacuation windows for Millers Court. Each of these systems has been carefully selected to align with the development’s demands for thermal efficiency, aesthetics, and sustainability.

John Morley, founder and chief executive of Legacie Developments, said:

“This is going to be another game-changing development from Legacie.

“The site is held in high regard by the people of Liverpool and we have started work on a sensitive redevelopment. It pays tribute to the history of the building but also delivers a modern living complex complete with first-class facilities.

“We are incredibly excited to have started work on this iconic project. It is a significant addition to our portfolio.”

Alongside residential apartments, Heap’s Mill will offer an incredible array of facilities directly on-site for the ultimate convenience. A full state-of-the-art spa with a swimming pool and relaxation beds partners with cosmopolitan rooftop terraces, coffee shops and even a museum to offer a desirable living experience to tenants, unlike anything else on the market right now.

This ambitious project has already attracted “unprecedented demand,” with investors already securing 80% of the units. Completion of Millers Court is expected in summer of 2025.

Mount Sinai Hospital

Mount Sinai Hospital - Center-for-AI

Hamilton & Amabel James Centre for AI & Human Health by Mount Sinai Hospital

The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is developing a $100 million research centre focused on artificial intelligence (AI) and precision medicine in Manhattan.

The Hamilton & Amabel James Center for Artificial Intelligence & Human Health is an exciting new project being developed by Lendlease and designed by HOK (formerly Hellmuth, Obata & Kassabaum). The 65,000 sq. ft. facility is located on 3 East 101st Street in Manhattan, and will become the first of its kind within a U.S. medical school.

The centre will enable staff and faculty from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai to advance AI and transform healthcare, and will also host staff from the Genomic Health and Emergency Departments. It will feature computer and other “dry” labs to support research that advances medicine and diagnostics.

Transforming the Facade With a Triple Glazed, Structurally Glazed Curtain Wall Screen

“HOK’s design transforms the 12-story building into an open and collaborative environment that will support important research and facilitate the recruitment of new faculty and staff,” said David Schwartz, regional leader for Science + Technology with HOK.

HOK’s design criteria involved a renovation of the original façade from 1964. They sought a contemporary, sleek exterior with exceptional thermal and acoustic performance. Our triple-glazed TB50 SG curtain wall system, designed for structural glazing, will not only enhance the building’s external appearance but also substantially diminish noise pollution. All installation works are being carried out by Related Services LLC, based in Amityville, New York.

Inside, the design prioritizes staff comfort, collaborative spaces and areas for quiet focus. Each floor has a mix of open workstations, private offices, meeting spaces, video/phone rooms and gender-neutral toilets. Strategies for accommodating the staff’s sensory needs include incorporating sound-dampening acoustic materials and eliminating visual clutter and distractions throughout the space.

The Hamilton & Amabel James Center for Artificial Intelligence & Human Health was made possible by a donation of an undisclosed amount from investment firm Blackstone Group’s Hamilton Evans “Tony” James and his wife Amabel.
