This building is not very interesting. It's a bit of Cardiff at the bottom and a bit of 90s Japan (possibly) for the rest. There is nothing distinctly Liverpool about the design ie. it should be bold, innovative; not copying something else, somewhere else.

It seems this architect has struggled from a lack of understanding of the city and a vague brief to 'build it high to impress' and 'get it past CABE whatever it takes'.
As for filling it, it won't get built until there is a perception of either increased demand or the existing demand finds Liverpool more attractive than elsewhere but there is a lot more to persuading people to move their livelihoods and homes to a city than building a railway.
