A LEGACY BEYOND FOOTBALL A COMMUNITY-LED LEGACY FROM TORUS We are redeveloping Liverpool Football Club's Melwood Training Facility, with planning in place for affordable new homes. Melwood has been at the heart of West Derby for decades. A place where footballing legends were born and from where Liverpool has dominated the world. Our vision will celebrate the heritage of Melwood but look firmly to the future, opening the door to a legacy that the entire community can benefit from. We want to work closely with the local community to shape our vision and bring it to life. About Torus Torus is a leading housebuilder and landlord with deep roots in Liverpool and West Derby. We specialise in delivering the right homes in the right places to support economic growth and regeneration. With a focus on collaboration and place-making, we build homes that enhance local communities and leave positive, long-lasting legacies. 100% of the profits generated from our developments is invested back into our charitable arm, Torus Foundation, to provide services that improve wellbeing, skills and quality of life.
