The project, on the former site of a luxury car showroom, will create new public areas, cafes and restaurants, shops, exhibition space, 376 apartments and high quality office space.
Developers say the first flats, in black granite triangular buildings designed to reflect the tones and textures of the nearby docks, will be finished by spring 2009 and the entire scheme should be completed a year later.
Ground-breaking also took place this week at nearby £65m Museum of Liverpool development. Both schemes are forecast to create 1,000 jobs and attract 1.25m visitors a year.
Neptune managing director Steve Parry said: “Our vision for this site will now become reality.”
