Upper Central
Between Mount Pleasant, the old Lewis’s store, Copperas Hill and Lime Street Station, is the area we have called Upper Central. Through the support of the Mayor of Liverpool it will be transformed into a vibrant part of the city, with new shops, offices, galleries, bars, restaurants, gyms and university space. On a scale equivalent to London’s Kings Cross, our plans for Upper Central are no less ambitious.
A key component of Upper Central will be the new commercial space for tech and digital businesses, alongside futuristic educational space. Only two hours from London by train this is a great business location at the heart of Liverpool.
Working with the KQ partners, The City are creating a Spatial Regeneration Framework (SRF) for the Gateway, to enable the speedy delivery of this ambitious development, improving the arrival experience for visitors and commuters into the city.
The regeneration of Upper Central, which is already underway with the Ion scheme on Lime Street and Liverpool John Moores University’s demolition of the former sorting office on Copperas Hill, will be a catalyst for much needed investment in tech and education and will create a new green, accessible, environment between the wider Knowledge Quarter and the rest of the City Centre.
