Developer North Point Global and BLOK Architecture’s plans for the regeneration of part of Liverpool’s historic Chinatown quarter have gone on show on Merseyside.

The project has a £200m price tag and would involve development along the frontage of Great George Street. The concept is for a new urban quarter comprising up to 1,000 homes and 18,580 sq metres of new commercial and retail space. One of the elements is a Chinese themed retail area as well as a substantial number of live-work spaces providing accommodation for new Chinese businesses to set-up in the city.

Although the proposals are at an early stage, the developers are hoping to submit a planning application for the first phase of the project before the end of the summer.
