And here's an alternative view.
Alright fellas
Pleased this has now been resolved. I have always been pissed off that the 2nd proposal got the knock back but am warming to the idea. It's a massive project and a massive investment that is great news. **** loads of jobs and will transform a virtually unknown part of town.
Still hate the interferring *****s though.
...a part of town that has always been the same ever since i was born, welcome Richie

This development will be great for that part of the city as it will just bring everyting together; that is all the Paradise Street and the Lime Street Gateway work.
One problem though, which I am unsure will be resolved, Central Station is the main station for the retail centre of the city. Consequently it is very busy and is infact running over capacity. Now, do these plans take a possible upgrade/expansion of Central Station into consideration?
THE developers behind the £160m Central Village scheme in Liverpool have acquired
additional sites in nearby Bold Street to "book-end" the huge project.
Merepark and Ballymore have acquired 21-25 Bold
Street from Legal and General for an undisclosed sum, as part of a plan to enhance the experience at the 600,000 sq ft Central Village
scheme.
Plans for the two-storey building include opening up the interior and adding another floor as well as giving the exterior a modern glass
frontage.
The building is currently occupied by Greggs, Eddie Rocket's and Resurrection who will continue to trade as normal. The Subway site on the
corner of Newington and Bold Street, which will provide pedestrian access directly into Central Village's public square, has also been acquired.
Merepark
director Richard Peel said: "Our aspiration is to continue the momentum being generated in the Bold Street area and these acquisitions will help us to do
that."Enhancing these gateways will connect Central Village with Bold Street's more established retail offer."
Merepark and Ballymore added the former
Wades furniture store at 9-19 Bold Street, which backs onto the Central Village site, to its portfolio at the end of 2005.
This has now been refurbished
into three retail units - home to fashion retailer Drome and Costa Coffee. American bar chain Telo has also confirmed a 15,000 sq ft letting.
Work is
expected to start in early 2007 on the 25-storey tower and a 20-storey mid-rise building, nicknamed Spencer and Hepburn, after
film legends Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn. Two nine-storey and one five-storey buildings will sit alongside.
The development will be phased
over four years.

Early next year andAny start date?
it's scheduled to finish in 2011.
This in my opinion is one of the best developments happening here at the moment,I can't wait for them to get on site and get this one moving.

They sort of remind me of the Unity tower but without the cuboid penthouse on the top.
