Liverpool ONE to watch for property investment
If your impression of Liverpool is all tracksuits, football and scallies, you’d only be partly right. Liverpool is fast becoming the place to be, and it’s worth considering investing in some top scouse property.
Not only is the city basking in Capital of Culture 2008 glory, with a 30 per cent rise in visitors, but the opening of Liverpool ONE has boosted its ratings no end. You don’t have to be Coleen McLoughlin to enjoy the new 1.6 million feet of shopping space, 160 shops and 20 bars and restaurants, and if you want a spot in the heart of all the action, Liverpool ONE also comes with a swanky residential apartment complex called One Park West.
Hubcaps are safe, along with property investments
The 17-storey building is designed by the same architect responsible for the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur - Cesar Pelli. It overlooks the waterfront and consists of 326 studio, one, two and three bedroom apartments, secure parking and 24-hour concierge. Hardly the council flat dwelling, steal your hubcaps image that some people have of Liverpool.
World-class gateway
And now could be the time to invest if you’re thinking about it. Plans have been revealed to turn the city into a ’super-port’ to rival the likes of New York, Singapore and Dubai. The Mersey Partnership (TMP) are hoping to turn the city into a world-class international gateway by improving the existing port, road, rail and air links, with the focus on waterfront regeneration.
So with all the completed, on-going and planned regeneration combined with the Beatles, the Albert Dock and the array of cultural venues like the Tate Modern, Liverpool is heading up the property investment barometer. Calm down, calm down.
