The £12m transformation of a development at the heart of Liverpool's Baltic Triangle has been completed after it was saved following North Point Global's (NPG) collapse.
Crossfield Exclusive Developments (CED) has announced the completion of Baltic View, a 130-apartment project on Norfolk Street it bought from failed Liverpool firm NPG in November 2018.
At the time, CED promised a "new dawn" for the troubled project, which now comprises of one, two and three-bed apartments - all sold - and nine commercial units.
It's the culmination of a real change in fortune for the site, which prior to 2018, was known as Baltic House and lay partially built and abandoned.

David Cain, managing director of CED and Crossfield Group said: “The successful completion of Baltic View underpins our aim to renew this important area of the city into a thriving community of city residents living in quality, aspirational homes.
“It’s also been particularly pleasing to see the vast amount of local businesses and people that have benefited through the construction stage.
"Not only has a 100% local supply chain been used, but our partnerships have seen many young people use the project as an education tool which has really demonstrated the impact development schemes can have both socially and economically."

Contractor Crossfield Group said it used a local supply chain of 20 Liverpool businesses to deliver the project, employing more than 100 people, six of them directly, who remain as full-time employees.
CED said it used its partnership with Everton in the Community to host site visits from more than 50 students across the city, as part of the football club charity’s ‘Get Into Construction’ initiative.
All of the homes and units have now been sold, with tenants looking to move into the 11-storey building before Christmas.
The £12m scheme in the heart of the city's creative and digital quarter was designed by architect Brock Carmichael.
David Ayem, managing director of CED said: “We’re thrilled to have reached the completion milestone of this scheme.
"Sites such as the formerly-abandoned Baltic House are an eye-sore on our glorious cityscape and a blight on Liverpool’s otherwise industrious property sector.
"It gives us a huge sense of pride to be able to challenge this perception and harness the area’s enormous potential.”
