Second bid to build £80m dock tower
MORE than 120,000 sq ft of office space will be created as part of a new £80m mixed-use development at Liverpool's Princes Dock.
The scheme, being proposed by the Mersey Property Company (MPC), will feature a 32-storey tower, 122,000 sq ft of grade-A office space, 133 apartments, a 129-bed hotel pre-let to Golden Tulip, 5,000 sq ft of leisure/retail space and 150 car parking spaces.
It is the second proposal put forward by MPC for the site, plot 3a, which is right on the waterfront. Its original plans were heavily criticised in a report last year by the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) which branded them "joyless" and "weak".
Now after working with CABE, English Heritage, the city council and Liverpool Vision, the company believes it has come up with a design that will please all parties.
