LIVERPOOL’S MAYORAL
DEVELOPMENT ZONES: Review of achievements 2012-2017 (February 2018 revised edition)
2012-2016
Foreword On becoming Mayor of Liverpool in April 2012, I made a
series of commitments which included creating 20,000 new
jobs in the city. Making such a commitment at that time,
whilst the country was in the middle of a crippling recession,
coupled with a series of unprecedented government cuts
being imposed on Liverpool, was always going to be a tall
order.
But Liverpool is a city that I passionately believe in. I have
often said that the city’s best years are to come, and I truly
believe that over the last four years we have proven what is
possible to achieve against all the odds.
Key to the success of this important commitment is how this
City Council can work with other agencies and partners,
pulling together the resources needed so that we create the
opportunities to work with new and existing businesses, in turn
helping them to grow and create those new jobs.
To do this, over the last five years, the city has focussed its
attention on five key Mayoral Development Zones and two
Enterprise Zones, each chosen as areas with the most
potential for generating employment, particularly for local
people in adjacent residential areas where jobs are vitally
needed.
We have used our land resources, connections and
partnerships to provide the sites, support and opportunities to
attract businesses to invest in these zones. Since early 2012,
over £2.45 billion worth of development within them has seen
existing jobs safeguarded in new and refurbished offices,
warehouses, industries, health facilities, schools and colleges.
This document looks back at the achievements over the last
five years across the five Mayoral Development Zones and
the Liverpool City Enterprise Zone.
And it doesn’t stop there! Another £1.3 billion is currently on
site in these zones, providing some 1,589 new jobs when all
the space created is filled. The City Council is also looking at
innovative new ways to increase its rental income from
purchasing key properties or land through the “Invest to
Earn” initiative, or through investing in expanding businesses
such as Liverpool John Lennon Airport so that it can share in
future profits to reinvest in our services.
I hope after reading about the great strides this city has
taken and continues to deliver, you will agree that Liverpool
remains an increasingly attractive place to invest and do
business.
Joe Anderson, OBE
Mayor of Liverpool

Starting Point: Origin of the Zones
The last five years has seen Liverpool show a remarkable resilience in a post-recession period with over £5.2 billion worth of completed investment since January 2012 having brought new jobs and training opportunities, 12 new schools and over 5,000 new homes. Today, the city is experiencing its highest ever levels of investment with some £1 billion being invested each year, and more schemes in the pipeline.
A significant boost to the city’s ability to promote, encourage, foster and facilitate this investment and development activity came about when the new Mayor of Liverpool came into office in May 2012. This had been brought about by changes introduced through the Localism Act 2011 and the updated Local Government Act 2000 which allowed local authorities to hold a referendum to change their governance arrangements to an elected mayor.
Liverpool embraced this opportunity which offered the chance to form a new governance model for the city, the powers and resources of which would be primarily supplied by the City Deal agreement with the Government. This deal has seen the establish-ment of the first Mayoral Development Corporation outside London, supported by a Local Finance for Growth package worth an initial £130 million.
The Mayor took responsibility for developing the strategic vision of the city, promoting Liverpool and the City Region at home (opening our “Liverpool in London” office) and abroad, and implementing a single investment programme package that included:-
a new Enterprise Zone for North Liverpool and the Central Business District which offers incentives for companies to set up business in Liverpool and encourages existing city-based business to grow;
the potential to capture the entire benefit of any growth in business rates from the Enterprise Zone for use in five other key economic areas of the city – North Liverpool, the Knowledge Quarter in the city centre, Stonebridge Cross, the Eastern Approaches (Central Liverpool) and Speke-Garston (South Liverpool) areas (referred to as Mayoral Development Zones or MDZs).
In addition, the deal has seen the Mayor acting as the chair of an investment board – the Mayoral Develop-ment Corporation – to oversee the Local Finance for Growth package and all of the land, commercial and residential buildings including the assets that were previously owned by the North West Development Agency, much of which sits inside these zones.
Now, five years on, this document looks back at what has been achieved in the Mayoral Development Zones and the Liverpool City Enterprise Zone, as well as the developing aspiration for the proposed £5.5billion Liverpool Waters development which is set to be delivered in the coming decades.

Value added (what the Council does to help)
Liverpool is a city with a wealth of talent, skills, land and property opportunities which can benefit companies seeking a base to operate and flourish. Our task is to identify the opportunities and bring investors to the table along with all the back-up needed to encourage them to see Liverpool as the right location for their business. Although some of what has been achieved in the Mayoral Development Zones will have happened naturally, the Council has been and remains actively involved in helping several major projects come to fruition.
Our priorities are to encourage investment that brings positive benefits to the city in terms of jobs, education and training facilities, and greater housing choices, all of which form part of the Mayor’s pledges. Our citizens need access to training to improve their skills, well paid job opportunities, and a good choice of both rented and homes to buy in order to keep them within the city limits as Council Tax payers.
The City Council provides support through a number of teams with a regeneration focus, and Liverpool Vision, all of whom work together to market the city and showcase potential development sites and
opportunities – including Council or other public owned sites wherever possible – to potential investors, or to existing companies based in the city wishing to find land or premises in which to expand.
Once an opportunity has been identified, interested investors/companies are supported through the range of financial support options for businesses such as the Mayoral Investment Fund. For qualifying investment projects, the support on offer may involve equity, loan or funding packages. The City is within an assisted area and as a result there is flexibility in the provision of funding packages available. The City also has the City Enterprise Zone which can offer incoming businesses certain financial benefits to provide assistance in site assembly or preparation where possible contamination exists, amongst others.
The Regeneration Development Team supports developers and investors deliver their projects, from concept stage through to completion. Planning & Building Control officers offer guidance where necessary through the planning stages, whilst advice is also given by the Heritage and Urban Design Team where buildings need to be successfully meshed into the urban fabric in sensitive environments such as the city’s commercial World Heritage Site that forms a major part of the Liverpool City Enterprise Zone.
In North Liverpool in particular, the Development Team has worked closely with Liverpool Football

Club and Registered Social Landlord partner Your Housing Group on the £260million Anfield Project. The scheme has not only seen LFC’s stadium seating capacity expanded and a new square created, but our housing policy officers have led on a major refurbish-ment programme which has seen outstanding results in refurbishing dilapidated terraced housing, bringing vacant homes back into use for local residents.
In terms of strategic forward planning, the council engages with major players and partners. In the case of the Knowledge Quarter Mayoral Development Zone this includes the Council’s involvement with the Knowledge Quarter Board that includes representatives from Liverpool Vision, the two universities, the Royal Liverpool University Hospital, both cathedrals and the School of Tropical Medicine. The Board works to guide the implementation of the Knowledge Quarter Strategic Investment Framework, a blueprint document outlining the partners’ joint vision for the development of the zone.
Partnership working has also brought other benefits. Liverpool Science Park, located next to the Metro-politan Cathedral, is a joint-owned business shared between the City Council, the University of Liverpool and Liverpool John Moore’s University. Its £8 million IC3 facility, completed in March 2014 was part funded by the partnership, with the balance being provided by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
In addition, the Council has become a third party investor in the development of Liverpool John Lennon Airport which has seen an increase in passenger numbers, airlines and destinations served over the past year. Investment will be used to further improve facilities for passengers and airlines, with the Council able to share in any profits made as the airport continues to develop.
Under the innovative “Invest to Earn” initiative, the Council is able to borrow money to invest in property or schemes that have potential to earn income. Since 2012, the scheme has helped protect and create 1,600 jobs, generated new economic growth, increased business rate income and delivered commercial returns of up to 15%. This includes the purchasing of the Cunard Building which earned £1.3 million in its first year and has the potential to bring in a further £2 million in rents once new businesses and ventures have moved in; and the Finch Farm sports training ground which the Council is now renting back to Everton Football Club and other sporting clubs and bodies, generating a monthly income.

North Liverpool MDZ The largest of the Mayoral Development Zones, North Liverpool covers the area stretching from the expanse of Liverpool’s docks in the north to the edge of the City Centre’s commercial business core. Not only does it include a swathe of traditional industrial and warehousing sites alongside the river, it also reaches eastwards into Everton Valley to encompass rapidly regenerating residential suburbs and district shopping centres.
WAREHOUSING/MANUFACTURING Being located close to the Port of Liverpool, North Liverpool is perfectly poised to provide additional warehousing and storage opportunities arising from its proximity to the recently completed £300 million “Liverpool 2” deep water freight-handling facility.
Cooking oil manufacturer New Britain Oils has invested £40 million at its plant in Regent Road since it opened in 2010. In April 2012 it built a new £9 million packing warehouse next to the existing facility, creating 30 new jobs. In early 2015 the plant was bought by Malaysia- based Sime Darby Plantation for £1.07 billion and production has been ramped up due to high demand for its products, taking the total workforce to 70.
Great Howard Street and Derby Road form the main artery route into the city from Southport, Lancashire and the north. With some 25,000 vehicles using the corridor each day, the location has become popular with car showrooms and trade counters. Redsun Developments completed its £4 million Canada Dock Exchange scheme in February 2017. The first phase of 30,000 sq ft was pre-let to CCF Ltd (Travis Perkins Group), whilst Screwfix Ltd were amongst the first businesses to open in the second 35,000 sq ft phase.
RENEWABLE ENERGIES North Liverpool is enjoying a growth in firms specialising in waste to fuel technologies. In October 2013, Olleco Energy completed a specialist biodiesel plant capable of producing 16 million litres of biodiesel. It is the UK's largest purpose built plant dedicated to producing biodiesel from used cooking oil, and in 2014 the company installed its first Anaerobic Digestion (AD) plant to provide the heat and power needed to operate the biodiesel plant. This has helped Olleco to step closer to achieving its vision of 100% resource recovery by producing a biodiesel that saves over 95% GHG emissions compared to fossil fuels.
RETAIL/LEISURE In order to enhance the Everton Valley area as a desirable suburb in which to live, and supporting the many opportunities which currently exist for high quality residential development, St Modwen’s “Project Jennifer” has provided a new district centre on Great Homer Street. The existing “Greatie Market” was relocated in order to make way for a new £50 million development that included a Sainsbury’s store and other non-food retail units, McDonalds, petrol station, open market, community facilities and leisure uses. Over 250 new jobs arrived when the bulk of the building completed in autumn 2017. North Liverpool is also home to both of the city’s football clubs. Whilst plans for Everton FC are still at an early stage, Liverpool FC’s £120 million redevelopment of its main stand completed in September 2016. The scheme is part of a £360 million regeneration of the Anfield area that is also seeing over 600 terraced homes refurbished or redeveloped, along with improvements to existing shops, a business hub, new public square and a proposed new hotel.

South Liverpool MDZ Attracting high value jobs, significant levels of investment and modern, well-connected business premises, South Liverpool is one of the city’s most sought-after locations sitting close to Liverpool John Lennon Airport and the South Liverpool Parkway Transport Interchange with its links to the national rail network. Since the early 2000s, the zone has been transformed with high quality, handsomely designed business parks and an infrastructure fit for 21st century businesses, whilst over 2,000 new jobs have been created here since the start of 2012.
AUTOMOTIVES South Liverpool’s reputation for automotives saw new-comer on the block Briggs Automotive create 60 jobs when it opened a new factory in a refurbished warehouse at Compass Industrial Estate, close to the airport, in early 2014. The 60 staff now produce four of its single-seater BAC Mono supercar per month, and the company’s order book is overflowing as it supplies the vehicles to customers across Europe, America and Asia. The factory is just a short distance away from the Jaguar Land Rover plant.
WAREHOUSING AND LOGISITICS The large, flat sites created from the former Liverpool Airport airfield attract companies requiring large footprints for warehousing. Having created 600 jobs when moving into its first £40 million 650,000 sq ft warehouse at “The Vault” on Liverpool International Business Park in 2009, retailer B&M built a second £20 million 500,000 sq ft warehouse called “The Cube” in January 2014, bringing a further 300 jobs. Two months later, this was followed by a vehicle maintenance unit bringing an additional 30 jobs.
In March 2014, Johnson Controls relocated from neighbouring Knowsley to a new £9 million headquarters at Liverpool International Business Park. In doing so, it added 50 new staff to its existing 450.
Genesis Business Park at Estuary Commerce Park opened in August 2012, bringing over 80,000 sq ft of light industrial/ warehousing space providing space for 240 jobs. Companies who moved in included business centre operator “Business First” and insecticide developer and distributor Yanco. In February 2014, Capital & Centric completed nine small light industrial units and seven small distribution warehouses at “Speke Business Park” off Goodlass Road, creating space for over 100 new jobs.
Other warehousing schemes recently completed include “The Hangar” and “Innovate:Speke” at Venture Point, together providing space for 300 jobs.
BIO-PHARMACEUTICALS South Liverpool is also a recognised as one of the UK’s key locations for bio-pharmaceuticals. Both Eli Lily and Medimmune have invested more than £40 million in new and extended facilities since the end of 2013, whilst Novartis completed a new £5million warehouse next to its existing facility off Speke Boulevard. Kays Medical completed a new £5 million complex at Windward Drive in December 2017 bringing 150 new jobs.
RETAIL/LEISURE Along with the rapid growth of popular new housing schemes, the zone has seen similar investment in retail facilities. Taskers opened a 100,000 sq ft homeware and furnishings store off Speke Hall Road in November 2015, bringing 100 new jobs. Meanwhile, the owners of the successful New Mersey Shopping Park off Speke Road have commenced work on a £60 million plan to revamp the site with a new multiplex cinema, restaurants and new retail units to add to the existing offer, bringing 400 new jobs.

Stonebridge Cross MDZ Stonebridge Cross Mayoral Development Zone sits on either side of East Lancashire Road (A580), one of the principal routes into Liverpool from Greater Manchester. Considerable site assembly, infrastructure and environmental enhancement works have been invested in to make it appeal to modern businesses looking for room to expand. With the area’s particular strengths in the manufacturing, logistics, service and food sectors, the zone offers a range of investment opportunities including high quality serviced plots and new business units available for commercial and industrial use at Stonebridge Business Park and Gillmoss Industrial Estate.
WAREHOUSING AND LOGISITICS Stonebridge has become one of the city’s premier locations for distribution warehousing. The largest employer in the zone is Home Bargains (owned by TJ Morris) who expanded their existing 550,000 sq ft facility employing over 1,000 people with a new £20 million 270,000 sq ft extension at G-Park. Opened in August 2014, it created an additional 150 jobs. Home Bargains also has on site a sales training facility which acts as a regular retail store. G-Park is also home to parcel carrier DHL International and Burtons’ Biscuit Co. Stonebridge Business Park is, today, home to housing provider Liverpool Mutual Homes, social business NSC (Neighbourhood Services Company), and Eurofoods. In the last 12 months they have been joined by parcel delivery firm DPD - for whom St Modwen Developments constructed a new 70,000 sq ft warehouse bringing 230 new jobs. St Modwen also recently completed an additional 62,000 sq ft of light industrial space in four units on another site named “Stonebridge West” nearby. Meanwhile, on the opposite side of East Lancashire Road at Stonebridge Cross, Liverpool City Council has created the largest single site at 54.7 acres (22.14 hectares) to prepare for a warehousing scheme capable of bringing 1 million square feet and creating 500 jobs. With our development partner Gallan Stoford, we are currently marketing this major opportunity. Preparing the site involved diverting the River Alt, which has been placed in a new landscaped wetland habitat valley around the southern and western edges of the plot. Further opportunities for warehousing and light industrial uses are available within the zone.
RETAIL/LEISURE Although East Lancs Road has an existing retail centre at Stonebridge Retail Park (featuring a Showcase Cinema, McDonalds, Travelodge Hotel, Poundstretcher, Superdrug and B&M Store - the latter of which arrived in early 2015), some leisure operators have spotted a gap in the market on this important key artery between Liverpool and Manchester. In March 2015, Starbucks opened their first drive-thru coffee shop, whilst later in the Autumn of the same year, Marstons completed their £1.2 million “Vikings Landing” pub. The two venues brought 90 new jobs between them. In Summer 2017, Home Bargains moved its retail training centre into the former Carcraft building at Portal Way. The £10 million investment also created a further 40 new jobs.

Central Liverpool MDZ (Edge Lane) Central Liverpool MDZ enjoys some of the highest take-up rates anywhere in the city. Major employers include Nutricia Liverpool, the worldwide lead in Advanced Medical Nutrition for use in dietary support. Barclays Bank chose the area for one of its busiest call centres; the life-changing Roy Castle Lung Foundation’s research hub is based here, along with the game-changing tech of Human Recognition Systems and clinical food specialist Nutricia.
Well connected, planned, and provisioned, the zone sits either side of Edge Lane, the main traffic artery into the city from the end of the M62 motorway. It is home to both Wavertree Technology Park and Liverpool Innovation Park, both forming an industrious community of small and medium-sized digital and tech firms and knowledge-intensive specialists. These include mobile communications, finance and pharma-ceutical companies; all enjoying super-fast fibre-optic broadband, acres of free parking and a great range of local services on their doorstep.
INFORMATION & DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES Liverpool Innovation Park hosts several businesses specialising in digital and creative technologies including AIMES Grid Services, website consultancy BMK Digital and Zut Media. During 2015, Barclays Bank undertook a £6.4 million refurbishment of its 30 year old call centre, increasing the number working there by 110. These businesses are set to be joined by a new film and television studio to be created within and surrounding the Art Deco former Littlewoods Building. The £25 million+ scheme announced in summer 2015 will employ over 500 people. A detailed planning application is currently anticipated. The developer, Capital & Centric, also completed a refurbishment of the “The Bunker” – the former catalogue storage warehouse, as serviced offices for new and developing digital businesses.
MANUFACTURING & LOGISTICS The zone is also home to several distribution warehouses. In September 2015, Parabola completed a £2.5 million refurbishment of the 170,000 sq ft “Space 170” former TJ Hughes Depot. When fully occupied by new tenants, it will have the capacity to provide employment for up to 170 people.
RETAIL/LEISURE New retail development centres around the former 400,000 sq ft Edge Lane Retail Park which will be completely redeveloped, rebadged Liverpool Shopping Park and re-focused to target fashion retailers. A new 80,000 sq ft bulky goods retail park will also be built on a disused car park next to the site and rebranded Lifestyle at Liverpool Shopping Park. Derwent has already signed up B&M, which opened a 30,000 sq ft unit in August, in addition to a Halfords store and Hollywood Bowl. 17 units at “The Western Quarter” opened in October 2017, with the remaining 21 units will open in summer 2018.
EDUCATION In summer 2015, academy school operator the Lydiate Learning Trust announced it had bought Vortex House, a former modern office building on Wavertree Technology Park. The building is to be converted to a Studio School, funded by the state, and will offer business and technology courses to 14 to 19 year-olds as well as classes in engineering, accountancy and textiles. Its stated concept is to provide young people with a better, more practical understanding of the world of work before they leave education.

Knowledge Quarter MDZ The Knowledge Quarter zone is home to a wealth of knowledge assets, including major teaching, public service and cultural facilities, and a concentration of commercial knowledge related businesses. It forms a key priority of the City Centre Strategic Investment Framework to help increase the area’s economic potential and to attract and retain research companies and high growth businesses.
Amongst its compelling economic assets are the city’s universities, the Royal Liverpool University Hospital, Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, Liverpool Science Park, National Oceanographic Centre, Mersey Bio Incubator, the Art & Design Academy, Liverpool Institute for the Performing Arts, and Liverpool Community College. Between them, these organisations provide accommodation for learning, research, incubation and commercialisation by new and growing businesses.
HEALTH SECTOR & LIFE SCIENCES The new £335 million Royal Liverpool University Hospital is now around 90% completed. It forms part of a new health campus that includes the £25 million Life Sciences Accelerator completed in summer 2017 and now providing space for over 500 research workers; and the £118 million Clatterbridge Cancer Treatment Centre that started on site in early 2017. A relocation of the Liverpool Womens’ Hospital to the campus is now also being suggested.
The zone is also home to the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, who opened the £7 million “Wolfson Building” to house the Centre for Maternal and Newborn Health in early 2015 bringing 180 jobs. A £4 million extension has now been proposed for the centre, bringing a further 60 jobs.
The zone is also growing to include additional opportunities for health sector research and development. The Liverpool Science Park (owned by the City Council and the two universities) opened its £8 million IC3 building featuring a commercial laboratory space targeted at fledgling new medical research companies. Some 70,000 of its 80,000 sq ft is now occupied. As well as a wide range of IT and life science firms, LSP is home to Merseyside’s investment fund for small life science firms known as Spark Impact.
Plans have been announced for a £1 billion extension of the Knowledge Quarter at Paddington Village, with two of the three first buildings (Liverpool International College and Rutherford Cancer Centre North West) now under construction. The Royal College of Physicians will follow.
UNIVERSITIES & EDUCATION Both the University of Liverpool and Liverpool John Moores University are major occupants of and investors within the zone. The University of Liverpool has spent almost £100 million here since April 2012, not only rebuilding and extending its facilities but also bringing over 100 new jobs. It is currently investing £73 million that will bring a further 106 jobs. Similarly, Liverpool John Moores University has spent £40 million on its facilities (bringing over 140 new jobs) over the last four years, and is planning a £100 million extension to its campus using the former Parcel Sorting Office site off Copperas Hill and additional vacant land behind the Adelphi Hotel. A revised scheme is currently in preparation. With sites close to and around the university campuses now becoming rare, attention is turning to the northern perimeter of the zone along Islington where the Islington Regeneration Company is working on a masterplan of three major scheme to bring almost 1,700 student bedrooms to the area.

Liverpool City Enterprise Zone Liverpool City Enterprise Zone consists of the city’s Commercial Office District, the waterfront area with the Three Graces, the Historic Downtown Area, and part of the north city docklands reaching as far as Stanley Dock. The zone contains the greatest concentration of employment in the city region, and is home to several local, national and international firms with expertise in banking, professional services and the creative and media sectors.
To the north of the zone, Pumpfields and Northshore are well-established industrial areas strategically sandwiched between the growing City Centre and the proposed £5.5billion Liverpool Waters development. These two areas share a wealth of sites with redevelopment potential for mixed uses which can help the two Enterprise Zones knit together with North Liverpool where there is a pool of skilled and semi-skilled labour available.
COMMERCIAL OFFICES
With the new build scheme at St Paul’s Square having completed in 2011, attention has turned to refurbishing existing stock. Investment has continued in the Three Graces at the Pier Head (Liver Building, Cunard Building and Port of Liverpool Building), whilst Capital & Centric completed a major refurbishment of an empty 1970s dated office building “The Tempest” in August 2015. It is difficult to assess the total volume of office refurbishment work not requiring planning consent, but of that which does, over 380,000 sq ft has been created or refurbished since April 2012, creating space for 1,400 potential new jobs and safeguarding an additional 1,400. 270,000 sq ft is currently being refurbished inside India Buildings for 3,500 HMRC staff being relocated from other sites across Merseyside.
Looking to the future and the urgent need to build more Grade A floorspace, the City Council has purchased the Pall Mall car park at the rear of Exchange Station from the Homes & Communities Agency, and will shortly be bringing forward plans to bring forward a commercial scheme of 350,000 sq ft.
LEISURE
Being close to the waterfront, this zone has been a popular choice of location for 10 new hotels which have opened since April 2012, bringing 1,072 rooms and 480 jobs. Apart-hotels are the current vogue, with the Corn Exchange on Drury Lane currently being converted from offices to
contain 205 suites. Further hotels are proposed for Stanley Dock. Not only did the end of 2015 see the completion of the 616 bedroom Pullman Hotel at Kings Dock, it was built above the new £40million Exhibition Centre as an extension to the existing Arena & Convention Centre. In its first year it hosted 40 events, attracting more than 150,000 visitors and generating an extra £20million in economic impact for the city region.

1. Pall Mall Exchange has the capacity for 350,000 sq ft of offices/retail/restaurants and residential uses. It sits next to St Paul’s Square and represents a natural expansion area for the Commercial Office District.
2. Funding is almost in place to commence on Liverpool’s first 5 star hotel at Martin’s Building, Water Street. Confidence in the hotel sector in Liverpool has been growing with the last 18 months seeing significant rise in occupancy and room rates, along with continual increases in the numbers of rooms sold each month.

3. Ashtenne has been refurbishing office space at “Exchange Station”, the new name for Mercury Court. Of the 190,000 sq ft to be renewed, 30,000 sq ft had been completed and let by summer 2015.
4. Although a predominantly residential-led scheme, the Tobacco Warehouse at Stanley Dock will also include office space and public exhibition space.
5. Sites on the northern periphery of the zone are seeing residential and student accommodation schemes coming forward. This site at Bevington Bush/Aldersey Street will see 614 apartments.

Liverpool Waters Enterprise Zone As a natural extension to Liverpool’s Central Business District, in the fastest growing regional economy outside of London, the regeneration of 60 hectares of Liverpool’s historic dockland to create a £5.5 billion world-class, high quality, mixed use development represents one of the most important waterfront regeneration and investment opportunities in Europe. It offers investors and occupiers a unique opportunity to be in the heart of an exciting new waterfront quarter in one of the most recognised city brands in the world.
The vision is to create a unique ‘sense of place’, taking advantage of the site’s cultural heritage and integrating it with exciting and sustainable new development. Its 1.7 million square metres of floorspace will accommodate new and existing residents, attract national and international businesses and encourage a significant increase in the number of visitors to the city, adding to Liverpool’s cultural offer and providing a new and complementary destination. The development is also a major part of Peel Investments’ £50billion ‘Ocean Gateway’ project to regenerate its land an assets fronting the Manchester Ship Canal and the River Mersey. This government designated Enterprise Zone offers a number of unique benefits on offer to companies seeking to locate here, including 100% business rate discount for five years (to a maximum cap of £275,000); a more simplified and flexible planning regime; and greater access to a locally based pool of labour with the skills necessary for modern businesses. Enterprise Zones also seek to encourage clustering of businesses in the same sector, and the zone and its immediate surroundings are already home to a number of internationally recognised shopping and maritime companies, financial and professional services as well as leisure operators.
The proposals include for 3.4 million square feet of offices space that could provide space for over 25,000 jobs. Over 2,000 of these would be in the 55 storey “Shanghai Tower” which has also been mooted to contain a 5 star, 320 bedroom hotel. Most of the new office buildings are proposed either at Princes Dock or on sites nearest to the city centre, as these are most likely to be developed first in the likely 30 year span of the whole development. The plans also include a new, second, cruise liner terminal for the city.
