Overview
Horizon Heights is Unite Students' 1,085-bed scheme on Skelhorne Street in Liverpool's Knowledge Quarter, directly beside Lime Street station — a gateway building designed to give visitors a strong first impression of the city. Opened for the 2019/20 academic year, the development comprises two tower blocks in a U-shaped formation, delivering a mix of en-suite cluster rooms and studios.
Designed by Falconer Chester Hall with BREEAM Excellent certification and built by McAleer & Rushe on a cleared brownfield site, the scheme features a Sky Lounge on the upper floors with panoramic views across the city and Wirral peninsula, plus a cinema room, games area, communal kitchen, and ground-floor retail units.
Horizon Heights sits at the heart of Liverpool's Knowledge Quarter — a ten-minute walk to the University of Liverpool and Liverpool John Moores University — with museums, shopping, and the Ropewalks district within easy reach.
