Peel unveil plans for £5.5 billion development to transform the Liverpool Waterfront

Peel will be revealing full details of their plans to create a magnificent £5.5 billion waterside redevelopment scheme along the Liverpool Waterfront. The visionary scheme will see Liverpool become one side of the ocean gateway to the North West, an international waterside destination to rival cities such as Dubai, Vancouver, New York and Shanghai.

Lindsey Ashworth, Development Director of Peel will give a visual presentation which will include a spectacular fly through movie followed by the unveiling of artists impressions and an illuminated model that shows how the 150 acre, 21 million square foot (1.9 million square metre) development will look.

This, together with the Wirral Waters proposals on the opposite side of the River Mersey brings the total investment by Peel in creating these two spectacular waterfronts to £10 billion. It will be the largest investment of this type in the North West for over a century.

Read this and work your way back people,this is unbelievable.

Great news Paul. Hoping to be at the Town Hall presentation next week. The monorail from the airport to downtown is an exciting project. Fingers crossed eh? I can't see it all being completed in 5 years though!

Fun times ahead

the biggest project in the nw Liverpool Chamber of Commerce chairman David Wade-Smith has called for Peel to copy sister-city Shanghai and complete the bulk of the transformation within five years.

this is extremely exciting and im looking forward to seeing the plans, i hope there are no objections because this is what liverpool needs

[scouserdave]

I had a whisper about it at the beginning of this month which is why I registered www.centraldocks.co.uk on 4th Feb. However, the monorail came as a surprise. Peel are really being skimpy with their invites to the presentation. So far, the only person on the Echo who has an invite is Neil Hodgson.

The timeframe is between 30/40 years but Peel said they are keen to get on site asap and start work on the waters edge at first and then build inland.I don't care how long it takes personally as long as Liverpool puts lesser cities in their place.

We'll get the benefits from a lot of the scheme but our kids will reap the benefits of it which is alright by me.Just knowing Liverpool is on the up makes me feel good in itself so at the moment i'm like a pig in sh*t.

THE elevated monorail proposed by Peel as part of its £5.5bn development of Liverpool’s Central Docks can act as a 21st-century Overhead Railway, it was claimed last night. more

[scouserdave]

Kev, the monorail will never happen from what I've heard. It's just one of those headline grabbing stories. Peel and the Council haven't even discussed the route!
Be great to be proven wrong though!

According to RAdio City this morning, the amount being invested in the site is 5 million pounds not billion
