Starlight Investments Celebrates Lighthaus Tower Completion

Starlight Investments, a key player in the global real estate sector, has officially completed its newest project, Lighthaus, in central Liverpool. This impressive 31-story residential tower is part of the city’s continuous evolution into a major rental market in the UK. The completion of Lighthaus signals progress for both the local community and Starlight’s expanding portfolio in the UK, as 278 new build-to-rent (BTR) homes are set to welcome residents later this month.

Situated within Liverpool’s ongoing regeneration project, Liverpool Waters, Lighthaus is strategically positioned along the waterfront, combining modern living with urban amenities. The tower features a variety of apartment layouts, including studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom options, catering to the diverse needs of today’s renters. Residents are promised an enhanced living experience with shared facilities such as a sky lounge featuring stunning water views, a rooftop terrace, a fitness center, co-working spaces, and 24-hour concierge services—key features aimed at optimizing life by the water.

The demand for quality rental homes in Liverpool has surged, with private renting now constituting nearly 29% of the city’s households. However, the influx of new supply has lagged behind the growing population, making the launch of Lighthaus a vital inclusion in the market. As Jonnie Milich, Head of UK Residential at Starlight Investments, stated, “Build-to-rent in the North has entered a new phase. Lighthaus exemplifies the next generation of rental living, featuring well-thought-out design, professional management, and various lifestyle amenities that today's renters expect.” Early interest in pre-leasing has been robust, underscoring the need for high-quality rental accommodation in Liverpool.

The Lighthaus project was developed in a collaborative effort with partners X1 Developments and Vermont Construction, marking a meaningful contribution to the £5 billion Liverpool Waters initiative, which is poised to deliver approximately 9,000 homes along with significant commercial and recreational spaces. Raj Mehta, President of Global Markets at Starlight Investments, emphasized the importance of public-private partnerships in realizing this initiative. “Delivering new homes at scale requires genuine collaboration,” he remarked, expressing gratitude to the Liverpool City Council for their support throughout this journey.

As Starlight Investments continues to grow, they currently have over 2,000 homes under construction across major cities including Manchester, Leeds, and Liverpool. When combined with existing developments in locations such as Ashford, Dartford, Basildon, and Maidenhead, Starlight is committed to providing more than 4,000 rental units in the UK market. Their strategy focuses on long-term investments, regional revitalization, and creating quality rental communities that address true housing needs.
