The £920 milllon rebuilding of the Paradise Street area has been going on since 2004 and should be completed late next year. It is the largest scheme in Europe and will have over 1.6 million square feet of new shopping space.
The 42.5 acre site will contain over 30 individually designed buildings. The largest of these will be a 240,000 sq ft John Lewis department store, the chain’s largest in the North West. Also on the site there will be Debenhams, two hotels, a gallery, new bus station, new public park, cinema and 3,000 parking spaces. This will create over 4,400 jobs, many of them being temporary, shift based or part-time. It will bring a huge amount of employment to the area - all part of the generic development that is being seen across Liverpool.
