Legacie Developments, whose huge projects include the £90m Parliament Square scheme in the Baltic Triangle, announced on Tuesday it will create the jobs in Liverpool before the end of 2021.
The company said it will soon be developing five sites across the city including One Baltic Square and Element The Quarter - the former Primesite project on Low Hill, now with plans to become a 450-unit eco-friendly residential scheme.
