First look at Liverpool Waters’ vision for
the future
PROJECTS
Incredible new visuals for the £5 billion Liverpool Waters project, which will transform Liverpool’s Waterfront,
have been released to show how the 60-hectare development will look once completed.
The new CGI’s bring to life
Liverpool Waters’ vision to
completely restore the city’s
northern docks, regenerating
the 2 million sqm site to create a
world-class, mixed-use waterfront
quarter in Liverpool.
Within this vision are five unique
and dynamic neighbourhoods,
running from the edge of the
already established Princes Dock,
nearly 2km north along the
waterfront until it reaches Bramley
Moore Dock, the proposed site for
the new Everton football stadium.
As well as aerial views of the
entire project, the CGI’s also offer a
glimpse of some of Central Dock’s
most impressive features, including
Clarence Square, Central Park and a
new cultural hub. The 185,860 sqm
neighbourhood will also be home to
family housing with private gardens
as well as residential and office
buildings that will offer views of
Central Park and the River Mersey.
These CGI’s have been created to
accompany a refreshed masterplan
for the project which encompasses
all five unique neighbourhoods. The
masterplan has been updated to
maximise the project’s potential and
ensure it is future-proofed for
generations to come.
One of the biggest changes in
the plan is the relocation of Central
Park, with the intention to move it
closer to the River Mersey. Covering
almost two hectares, Central Park
will be one of the many jewels in
Liverpool Waters’ crown and will
perfectly encapsulate the distinctive
mix of culture and community to be
found at the Central Dock
neighbourhood.
Other changes in the plan
include a re-imagined Clarence
Square at Central Dock, which is set
to be one of the most distinctive
and interesting public spaces on
Liverpool’s waterfront. The
masterplan also showcases many
changes to the layout of various
pedestrian areas to prioritise
pedestrians and cyclists and ensure
that views of the River Mersey are
maximised and highlighted where
possible.
Managed by Peel Land and
Property (Ports) Limited, this year
Liverpool Waters has already moved
forward with a number of
developments including breaking
ground on the sixteen-storey
residential tower Plaza 1821, which
when finished will house 105 one
and two bedroom apartments as
well as offering commercial space
on the ground floor.
Darran Lawless, development
director at Liverpool Waters, said:
“This really is a landmark time
for the Liverpool Waters project.
Following a decade of meticulous
planning, we are now firmly in the
delivery phase of this project, and I
am excited to see these plans take
shape. The aim of the Liverpool
Waters project is an ambitious one,
but one that will expand the city
centre as well as creating jobs and
bringing economic benefits to not
only North Liverpool, but the region
as a whole.”
Ian Pollitt, assistant project
director at Liverpool Waters, said:
“For over 10 years we have
developed this project from an
initial idea into the biggest single
regeneration project in the history
of Liverpool and one of the biggest
of its kind anywhere in the world.
It’s the comprehensive re-imagining
and subsequent restoration of this
derelict dockland which will
reinstate the area back to its former
glory. With these new CGI’s and our
updated masterplan, we are
demonstrating that Liverpool Waters
will truly be a waterfront to the
world.”
