THE PORT OF LIVERPOOL BUILDING
STYLE
Much more than a landmark, this is a building that means business. It’s a hub of commercial activity; already recognised by international and local businesses that demand the highest standards of accommodation and day-to-day management. Tens of millions of pounds have been invested in a future-proofed, top-to-bottom refurbishment that sets a new benchmark for the city – including sympathetic cleaning of stonework, stained glass and marble floors, together with new lifts, lighting and reception facilities.
TRUST
Understanding that costs matters to you, matters to us. That’s why every aspect of our refurbishment was carefully researched and executed. It’s easy to make a building look good, but to get it to work efficiently takes careful planning. Downing has invested over £10 million ensuring that occupiers will be able to concentrate on their own business, confident in the integrity of their workspace – now and for years to come.
DESIRE
It would be difficult not to be seduced by such elegance. But behind the newly restored and cleaned stonework there is no mistaking that this is a building reconfigured to meet the needs of 21st Century businesses. Just as the architect Arnold Thornley envisaged at the turn of the 20th Century, this is space that inspires confidence and brings a sense of pride. We can offer a range of suites and specifications to suit you – whether you are looking for the flexibility of full-access raised floors or the elegance of restored parquet flooring. The option of comfort cooling is available to all suites.

GRACE
Rarely does architectural heritage mean so much to a city. The Port of Liverpool Building, one of the city’s Three Graces, is as much part of the city’s recent renaissance as it was a symbol of its former shipping pre-eminence. This is a World Heritage location that needs no introduction. It’s an address embedded in Liverpool’s psyche and recognised across the world.
RESPECT There is no devil in our detail.
We set out to do more than just restore this flagship property to its former glory. The soaring dome with its gold leafwork and polished marble halls set the tone. But we also respect that to our tenants, individuality matters too. So we built flexibility into the specification of all the office accommodation to meet the needs and aspirations of our occupiers.
CONFIDENCE Liverpool’s iconic waterfront once again holds its head high.
And that same feel-good factor is evident in the every day life of the city: a city redefined by commitment to regeneration and massive infrastructure investment. Whether for business, shopping, tourism, culture, art, history, architecture, conferences, concerts or events – Liverpool city centre is the place to be.
