Construction has begun on many exciting projects in Liverpool, including Everton’s new stadium and a brand-new entertainment venue in the Baltic Triangle.
Here, we take a look at the projects set to regenerate the ever-changing city.
5. £50m train station - Liverpool Baltic
Liverpool Baltic railway station is set to open in 2025, on the old St James site. A direct connection to the Merseyrail network would support the reduction of car journeys to the area, contributing towards reducing traffic congestion, as well as aspirations to improve air quality across the city region. The station would be located between Liverpool Central and Brunswick Station on the Northern Line and will include passenger toilets, a cycle hub, step-free access to and between both platforms and a passenger drop-off area outside.
6. Hemisphere building inspired by human brain
Work on Liverpool’s first net zero carbon workspace, Hemisphere is expected to begin this year, with completion expected for 2025. The 120,000 sq ft building will be located on the northern edge of Paddington Village, alongside existing major projects including The Spine, a 14-storey building occupied by the Royal College of Physicians, the 13-storey ‘live-learn’ facility of University of Liverpool International College and the Rutherford Cancer Centre. The designers say Hemisphere gets its name from the two sides of the human brain; where the right hand cerebrum is creative and imaginative and the left academic and logical. The new building will embody these characteristics and each side has been designed to have its own personality, look and feel, with features that differentiate one side from the other.
7. New Everton stadium
The new stadium, which is scheduled to be completed in 2024, is being built at Bramley-Moore Dock, the northernmost point of the Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City. The construction project iss one of the largest ongoing private-sector developments in the UK.
8. Award-winning BOXPARK
BOXPARK is set to open a new venue in Liverpool, later this year. The award-winning leisure operator has agreed a 15-year lease with Cains Brewery Village for the site, located within the city’s booming Baltic Triangle. The venue will be transformed into a food hall and events destination featuring a large internal space with units set over the ground floor, a small internal mezzanine, and an external terrace.
