A total of 99 houses have been developed in Welsh Streets by Plus Dane Housing in partnership with Liverpool City Council and Homes England.
The units are part of a £17.4 million programme to remodel 127 properties and create modern, contemporary homes in the Toxteth neighbourhood. The first phase of the scheme is being delivered by family-owned property company, Penny Lane Builders.
Madeleine Nelson, Acting Chief Executive of Plus Dane Housing, said: "Plus Dane is hugely proud to be a part of the regeneration of Welsh Streets, working closely with our partners Homes England and Liverpool City Council having been involved in the neighbourhood for decades. This is a flagship regeneration programme for us and more than just creating homes we want to support the rebuilding of the community to ensure it remains a great place to live for our current and future customers.

"In developing our plans, we have worked closely with our customers and the homes we are launching today reflect their aspirations for future living. That Plus Dane has been able to deliver such beautiful homes in response to these aspirations is brilliant."
Lynnie Hinnigan, Deputy Mayor and Cabinet Member for Housing, said: "I'm delighted that Plus Dane is now in a position to launch the first wave of these new, affordable homes in the Welsh Streets.
"This is a symbolic moment in the regeneration of the area and a great example of how the city council is working with numerous housing partners, like Plus Dane, to bring vacant properties back into use. In the past four years alone we've managed to convert 1,500 vacant units into homes and aim to breathe new life into 3,000 more over the next four years."
