Completed Development
Work begins on site at The Mercantile, starting Legacie’s full refurbishment of the building on Liverpool’s Duke Street.
The internal strip-out is progressing well, with the existing kitchens, bathrooms and internal windows being removed. The site team begins setting-out works ahead of the building’s reconfiguration.
The refurbishment is complete, and The Mercantile delivers 32 luxury apartments, including a collection of penthouses, in the heart of Liverpool’s Ropewalks district.
The Mercantile is a boutique collection of 32 one and two-bedroom apartments and penthouses on Duke Street, one of Liverpool’s most iconic streets. Legacie has fully refurbished the building, transforming it into luxury homes in the heart of the Ropewalks district.
The renovation reimagined the building from the inside out. A redesigned central atrium is now filled with natural light and leads to a residents’ lounge and communal breakout areas. Glass balustrades give the existing balconies an elegant new look. A limited number of penthouses have large terraces with hot tubs and views across the surrounding Ropewalks.
With Liverpool ONE, the Royal Albert Dock and the Baltic Triangle all a short walk away, The Mercantile pairs a historic city centre address with contemporary living.
Renovated Atrium
Ropewalks, Liverpool
Completed March 2025
The apartments at The Mercantile have a contemporary open-plan design, finished with premium fixtures and spacious bedrooms. The modern kitchens use Uform’s Strada Matte handleless range in Graphite, a minimalist slab-door design with a built-in J-handle. Under-cabinet lighting and matching graphite wall tiles complete the look. Selected kitchens also have an island with an induction hob and an integrated wine cooler.
The penthouses offer the most space, with large private terraces, hot tubs and views over the city. In some two-bedroom apartments, each bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom.
Outside the apartments, residents are welcomed by a light-filled atrium, a 24-hour concierge and a residents’ lounge. Underground parking is also available on site.
The Mercantile is at 72–76 Duke Street, in the Ropewalks district. This lively part of Liverpool city centre sits within the historic Merchant’s Quarter. Popular bars, restaurants and independent businesses are right on the doorstep, along with Duke Street Market, Bold Street, Europe’s oldest Chinatown and the Grade I-listed Bluecoat.
Liverpool ONE, the UK’s largest open-air shopping centre, is around 300m away. The Baltic Triangle, home to more than 500 businesses, is around 360m away, and the Royal Albert Dock and waterfront are around 460m away. The Central Business District is around 700m away, and the £5.5bn Liverpool Waters regeneration is around 1.2km away.
Liverpool Central station is just minutes away, with Merseyrail services across the city region. The Knowledge Quarter and the city’s main employers are within a 15-minute walk. A new Merseyrail station is also planned for the nearby Baltic Triangle, along with better cycle and pedestrian routes.
Based in Liverpool, Legacie is a property developer delivering residential and regeneration-led schemes across the North West and beyond. Its portfolio spans apartment developments, mixed-use projects, and the transformation of existing buildings, with a focus on creating contemporary homes and bringing underused urban spaces back into use.
Legacie’s integrated approach brings together development, construction, and property management, allowing the business to oversee projects from initial planning through to completion and occupation.
The Mercantile reflects this approach to transforming existing buildings. Legacie bought the Duke Street building, previously known as Spectrum, from Grainger PLC and earmarked £5 million for a complete luxury refurbishment. Its in-house team, Legacie Contracts, delivered the construction, and the kitchens were designed with Infinite Designs. The result is 32 high-specification homes, including penthouses, in one of Liverpool’s most characterful city centre neighbourhoods.

It will be my third investment apartment with RW Invest and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Sean Orrett and Chloe Walker really do go the extra mile. Chloe in particular helped me through a particularly hard time with solicitors and all the paperwork that was involved. Living in a different country and negotiating all the nuances that come with investing, she negotiated with ease and gusto. A big thanks to you both.

Daniel Stewart, has assisted me every step of the way. This is my first property purchase and so took Daniel up on his offer to guide me through every step no matter how small. I felt comforted to have his assistance in documents I needed to both understand and sign. Couldn't be happier with the help and customer care I have received so far.
