A former office building in Liverpool is set to become a co - living development . Oakstore has lodged a fresh planning application as it seeks to add further dwellings at Victoria House in Liverpool’s James Street, now being advanced as a co-living development. Victoria House on Victoria Street was purchased by Oakstore , an AR&V Investments ’ brand , for £ 2.35 million ( $ 3.09 ##m ) in 2013 , after its previous owner went into administration . Oakstore has now filed an application to create 20 studios that will take the building to 20 living spaces .
