According to tender documents, there’s an opportunity to create an enhanced gateway to Liverpool city centre within the land and buildings bounded by Renshaw Street, Bold Street, and Ranelagh Street.
These streets serve as one of Liverpool’s most popular shopping areas, with plenty of cafes, bars and independent stores, not to mention their proximity to Liverpool One and the Waterfront.
A £1m contract is available to draw up a vision for the area’s redevelopment and address network capacity issues around the station. The deadline for submissions is 18 April.
The tender documents describe this opportunity as a “once-in-a-generation” chance to redefine the Liverpool Central area and achieve “transformational place-based regeneration.”
At MIPIM 2024, Liverpool’s primary focus was Paddington Village, its £160m life sciences investment zone. Liam Robinson from the city council acknowledged the importance of this investment zone but emphasised the ongoing attention to the city centre.
Progress on a regeneration strategy for Liverpool Central reflects this commitment.
The project’s main objectives are to improve the city centre’s gateway and strengthen connections between the core and surrounding areas such as the Knowledge Quarter, Baltic Triangle, and Fabric District.
A contract for the Liverpool Central project is set to be awarded in May. More detailed regeneration proposals are expected next year as plans are developed further.
