LINDSEY ASHWORTH DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR THE PEEL GROUP
THE PEEL GROUP IS A FAMILY OWNED PRIVATE BUSINESS AND ONE OF THE LEADING INFRASTRUCTURE, REAL ESTATE AND INVESTMENT ENTERPRISES IN THE UK. WE ARE A DYNAMIC AND FAST-PACED ORGANISATION WITH A VAST ARRAY OF PRIVATE, PUBLIC AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS. We are pioneering the renaissance of the River Mersey and the Manchester Ship Canal corridor in North West England through what we call ‘Ocean Gateway’. This is a coordinated programme of investment by Peel, valued in excess of £50 billion, spread over the next few decades, consisting of a variety of businesses. The Ocean Gateway vision is to maximise the potential of the North West as a globally significant region and major driver of the UK economy, enhancing and connecting the two great city regions and world brands of Liverpool and Manchester to create an economic powerhouse and environmental asset. Over the last decade Liverpool has raised its game, its profile and its ambitions to place it back as the UK’s most dynamic and forward thinking city. It is a city that is moving forward, gaining momentum on all fronts to create wealth and prosperity and is now best placed to compete with all other European first class cities. Liverpool Waters is the largest transformational project in Liverpool, wholly within Peel’s ownership and an extension of Liverpool’s city centre on to its magnificent waterfront. It is a real estate investment of approximately £5 billion comprising 2 million square metres of mixed use floorspace and a new cruise liner terminal - all with planning permission in place. It is one half of Mersey Waters with its sister project Wirral Waters, that faces it on the opposite side of the River Mersey. This pairing leads our Ocean Gateway vision. Together the two projects are an investment of £10 billion and the largest property project in the UK. We are now at the delivery stage with Liverpool Waters and this document seeks to explain how we are going about this, by looking for partners to share and assist with this magnificent project. We hope that you will join with us for this incredible journey. Lindsey Ashworth Development Director The Peel Group

JOE ANDERSON MAYOR OF LIVERPOOL
LIVERPOOL IS NOW WELL POSITIONED AS AN INTERNATIONAL GLOBAL CITY. THE CITY HAS REGAINED ITS REPUTATION AS A PLACE THAT CAN DELIVER PROJECTS OF INTERNATIONAL QUALITY AND SIGNIFICANCE AND COMPETE IN MAINSTREAM MARKETS FOR JOBS AND INVESTMENT. In particular our city centre is seen as the engine of economic growth for the city region. Our waterfront is now a world-class visitor destination; the look and performance of the city’s business district has been transformed and the city’s retail and cultural offer is amongst the best in the UK. But this is not the end of the story, it is only the beginning. Despite the current challenging economic climate the city centre continues to have enormous growth potential and the delivery of Liverpool Waters is integral to realising this. Located within the first Enterprise Zone to be announced by UK Government this ambitious vision is one of the City Region’s most important regeneration and investment opportunities. The project will comprehensively transform the city’s northern docks, regenerating a 60-hectare stretch to create a world-class, dynamic, mixed-use development, providing much needed opportunities for jobs, training and skills development. I firmly believe Liverpool Waters will contribute substantially to the further growth and development of the city centre, and will complete the jigsaw along the waterfront. For me it is the next chapter in the close relationship between public and private sector partners working together to deliver a seamless integration of waterfront assets to continue its remarkable transformation.

LIVERPOOL WATERS : INTRODUCTION
THE SCALE OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND ITS AMBITIOUS LONG TERM VISION MAKES LIVERPOOL WATERS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT WATERFRONT REGENERATION AND INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN EUROPE. It offers investors and occupiers a unique opportunity to be in the heart of an exciting new waterfront quarter in one of the most recognised city brands of the world. As a natural extension to Liverpool’s Central Business District, in the fastest growing regional economy outside of London, the future of Liverpool as an internationally renowned centre for trade and communication is now secured. The World Heritage Site Inscription sets Liverpool Waters apart from all other UK cities and elevates the proposal to one of global importance. In addition to this, Liverpool Waters alongside its sister project Wirral Waters together form the UK Government endorsed and internationally promoted ‘Mersey Waters Enterprise Zone’. Liverpool Waters is the single ownership of the Peel Group and represents a hugely important physical regeneration opportunity on a scale not witnessed in the city since the formation of the docks themselves over 200 years ago.

THE SITE
LIVERPOOL WATERS IS ON THE ICONIC WATERFRONT OF THE CITY OF LIVERPOOL, ON THE EASTERN BANK OF THE RIVER MERSEY. Liverpool Waters extends to some 60 hectares and is located immediately north of Liverpool’s “Pier Head”, extending to over 2 km in length from Princes Dock in the south to Bramley-Moore Dock in the north. The land is approximately 450 metres wide in the north and approximately 200 metres wide in the south. It is bounded by the River Mersey to the West and the original dock boundary wall defines its eastern edge strongly except in two places. Firstly, in the vicinity of Waterloo Warehouse, the eastern boundary of West Waterloo Dock and Princes Half Tide Dock defines the site. Secondly, in the southeast of the site the King Edward Industrial Estate is within, but located east of the dock’s boundary wall. The northern site boundary is not marked clearly on the ground but runs at the mid-point between Bramley-Moore Dock (within the site) and Wellington Dock (to the north of the site). In the south, St. Nicholas Place runs immediately beyond the site. Over one third of the site consists of open water docks. Former dock areas have been subject to earlier in-filling, when the Leeds and Liverpool Canal was extended from Stanley Dock in the North, to Albert Dock six years ago.
Previous in-filling of other docks within the site had been extensive, creating land for a power station which was removed by 1994. Part of the proposed development site is located within the Liverpool Mercantile City World Heritage Site (WHS), and the remainder is within the WHS buffer zone. The site also includes part of the Stanley Dock Conservation Area, which contains a number of listed structures including the Tobacco Warehouse (outside the site boundary). The majority of the site consists of land reclaimed over a century ago from the River Mersey, and historically has been used for industrial purposes. The remaining structures on site include the quaysides, dock boundary wall and open dock spaces. Whilst the site is largely under utilised, Princes Dock to the south has been recently re-developed to create high-rise residential apartments, office blocks, hotel development, a multi-storey car park and other commercial and ancillary uses. In addition to this, low-rise residential accommodation is located to the east of the site (East Waterloo Dock), and a small industrial estate is situated in the south-eastern corner of the site.

THE VISION
THE REGENERATION OF 60 HECTARES OF LIVERPOOL’S HISTORIC DOCKLAND TO CREATE A WORLD-CLASS, HIGH-QUALITY, MIXED-USE WATERFRONT QUARTER IN CENTRAL LIVERPOOL. The development will create a unique ‘sense of place’, taking advantage of the sites’ cultural heritage and integrating it with exciting and sustainable new development. Liverpool Waters will contribute substantially to the growth and development of the City, allowing ease of movement and strong connections between the northern end of Liverpool Waters, its hinterland, and the city centre. It will accommodate new and existing residents, attract national and international businesses and encourage a
significant increase in the number of visitors to the city, adding to Liverpool’s cultural offer and providing a new and complementary destination. Princes Dock is phase 1 of Liverpool Waters and is already home to an array of world renowned businesses including Coutts, KMPG and PWC, Hotels including Malmaison and Crowne Plaza, as well as residential units.

ABOUT THE PEEL GROUP
OUR VISION IS TO CREATE SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENTS WHERE PEOPLE AND BUSINESSES CAN FLOURISH. The Peel Group is one of the leading infrastructure, real estate and investment enterprises in the UK. We are a family-owned concern and our diverse network of businesses ranges from ports to airports; land to leisure; media to hotels; wind farms to biomass; and a portfolio of investments in major public companies. Our long-term strategic projects include Liverpool Waters and Wirral Waters; Liverpool2 (Peel Ports); MediaCityUK; Port Salford; Trafford Quays; Chatham Waters in Kent and Glasgow Harbour. Peel Ports is Britain’s second largest group of ports and handles 70 million tonnes of cargo every year, the equivalent of 15% of UK traffic. The portfolio comprises five major gateways: The Port of Liverpool & Manchester Ship Canal; Heysham Port; Medway Ports; Clydeport and Belfast and Dublin. The Port of Liverpool and the Manchester Ship Canal now operate as one integrated waterway, with construction underway for the UK’s first ‘Post Panamax’ facility - Liverpool2 – a £350 million deep water container terminal just to the north of the Liverpool Waters site. Ship and Maritime engineering are successful and growing parts of the business, with the facilities at Cammell Laird, Birkenhead and A&P Group in Falmouth / Tyne & Wear.
Peel develops, owns and manages a variety of retail operations including outlet centres at Gloucester Quays and at The Lowry in Manchester, alongside leisure venues such as EventCity, Blackburn Ice Arena and Salford City Stadium.

THE OCEAN GATEWAY
OCEAN GATEWAY – MORE THAN 50 PROJECTS OVER 50 YEARS WITH £50 BILLION OF INVESTMENT – IS THE PEEL GROUP’S PIONEERING APPROACH TO THE RENAISSANCE OF THE STRATEGIC CORRIDOR ENCOMPASSING LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER, WITH A FOCUS ON THE REGENERATION OF LAND AND ASSETS FRONTING THE MANCHESTER SHIP CANAL AND THE RIVER MERSEY. Ocean Gateway projects embrace ports; logistics; retail and leisure; residential; commercial development; media infrastructure and renewable energy. Signature schemes include; Liverpool Waters; Liverpool2; Wirral Waters; MediaCityUK, Manchester; Port Salford; Liverpool John Lennon Airport and the expansion of Scout Moor Wind Farm in Lancashire. Other benefits of Ocean Gateway include the creation of environmental assets such as Speke Garston Coastal Reserve and wind turbines at the Port of Liverpool.
An independent review of the first five years of Ocean Gateway reveals that it has delivered more than £2 billion of private investment and thousands of new jobs. The report concludes that more than £1 billion of investment by The Peel Group since 2008 has leveraged an additional £1 billion of other private sector investment. Ocean Gateway is Peel’s contribution to the wider Atlantic Gateway public-private partnership. A total of 16 Ocean Gateway projects are part of the Atlantic Gateway growth plan.

WIRRAL WATERS
WIRRAL WATERS IS THE SISTER PROJECT OF LIVERPOOL WATERS THAT FORMS PART OF THE GOVERNMENT SUPPORTED MERSEY WATERS ENTERPRISE ZONE. Wirral Waters creates a new place – a lush city waterfront with room to breathe - that builds on a proud past and focuses on an exciting, dynamic future. Wirral Waters forms one half of a larger redevelopment project that spans across the River Mersey as part of the city region of Liverpool. The other half is of course Liverpool Waters. These two projects are the origin of the Ocean Gateway concept intended to create a visual gateway into the Northwest UK and a new mini city in its own right,
This combined project will deliver approximately 4 million square metres of mixed-use floor space with an estimated investment value of £10 billion. Wirral Waters includes housing, education, culture, offices, industry and leisure and provides a counter point to Liverpool and Liverpool Waters.

ENTERPRISE ZONES
THE UK GOVERNMENT HAS IDENTIFIED A SERIES OF ‘ENTERPRISE ZONES’ AROUND THE UK TO FOCUS INCENTIVE AND SUPPORT NEW AND EXPANDING BUSINESSES. Liverpool Waters falls within one of the Government’s flagship Enterprise Zones, ‘Mersey Waters’, which incorporates Liverpool Waters and Wirral Waters. The Mersey Waters Enterprise Zone offers a number of benefits that are not freely available outside the zone, and Mersey Waters is the only Enterprise Zone that also includes a World Heritage Inscription. Benefits for business expanding within or moving into the Mersey Waters Enterprise Zone include the following:• FINANCIAL BENEFITS - 100% business rates discount for five years. This means that each business that qualifies will receive discounts for five years from the start of its occupancy in the Zone, to a maximum cap of £275,000. This cap would typically be reached if an occupier took 1,000 square metres (10,000 square feet) of floor space. • ON-SITE CUSTOMER BASE – Enterprise Zones seek to encourage clustering of businesses in the same sector, and to this end the Mersey Waters Enterprise Zone is already home to a number of internationally recognised shipping and maritime companies, financial and professional services as well as leisure operators.
• A STRAIGHT FORWARD PLANNING PROCESS A simplified and improved planning regime replaces the old legislation which means more flexibility in terms of changes of use of floor space. • BUSINESS-READY INFRASTRUCTURE – Enterprise Zones have been designated with business in mind – easy access to motorways, rail, airports and ports. More importantly Enterprise Zones have been designated in locations where there is a locally based pool of labour with the skills necessary for modern business.

LIVERPOOL : NATIONAL CONNECTIVITY
NATIONAL CONNECTIVITY Liverpool is one of the best connected cities in the UK. Equidistant from both London and the major Scottish metropolitan areas, it benefits from a central UK location. The city has excellent rail and motorway connections to the national network with low congestion compared with other major UK cities. With approximately two thirds of the UK’ population located within a 2 hour drive of the City Centre, Liverpool is at the hub of the north west motorway network.
There are two major international airports within 45 minutes’ drive of Liverpool City Centre allowing businesses to access international clients easily without the need to travel via London airports. The city is a top international destination for thousands of tourists every year arriving via these airports and the International Cruise liner Terminal. Liverpool is the gateway to the UK from Ireland and the Isle of Mann, with regular ferry services connecting the city to Dublin and Douglas.

LIVERPOOL : A THRIVING VISITOR ECONOMY
The city of Liverpool is rightfully proud of it’s heritage – marked by the granting of UNESCO World Heritage Status in 2004. The Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City character areas cover much of the city centre and stretch out to the Liverpool Waters site, which lies within the Stanley Dock Conservation Area. Set within and alongside the WHS are the largest collection of national museums and Galleries outside of London – buildings old and new, with the Tate Liverpool and the Museum of Liverpool adding to the cultural capital of the city’s iconic waterfront. To complement these great buildings more registered parks and landscapes also surround Liverpool than any other city outside of London and Edinburgh. The City’s designation as the European Capital of Culture in 2008 marked a turning point in this transformation and the legacy continues to this day.

The site is bounded by the River Mersey to the west and the old dock boundary wall to the east. Virtually all the land was reclaimed from the river in the early 19th century in order to create docks. In the early 19th and 20th centuries, the site accommodated Liverpool’s Central Docks.

EAST WATERLOO DOCK
Global changes in the shipping industry and trading methods resulted in rapid decline and a number of docks were in-filled in the mid-late 20th century. Over one third of the site consists of open water spaces and approximately 40% of the Liverpool Waters site is within the Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City UNESCO World Heritage Site.

LIVERPOOL WATERS : PLANNING PERMISSION GRANTED
The 32 year planning permission for the entire Liverpool Waters development was approved in September 2013. The consent establishes general principles of how the site will be developed. The permission was consented on information which included: a Building Characterisation Precedent Public Realm Study; Cultural Heritage Baseline Study, and a Conservation Management Plan. The documents on which the permission was granted will be used to inform the future progress of the development.
LIVERPOOL WATERS : FOOTPRINT
Whilst the permission is varied and complex, Liverpool Waters is much more than just buildings and infrastructure. Punctuated by the network of historic docks, spaces and two new waterfront parks, the ‘footprint’ of the project looks like this:-

5 KEY CONCEPTS : WHAT MAKES LIVERPOOL WATERS A UNIQUE PLACE? KEY CONCEPT 1 CELEBRATING LIVERPOOL’S HERITAGE; CREATING LIVERPOOL’S FUTURE Liverpool’s City heritage is intertwined with the history of the docks and development of commerce around them. The docks played an important role in the development of the city as a major trading centre in the 18th and 19th centuries, and subsequently a significant role in the growth of the British Empire.
Five new neighbourhoods will be built on the former docks. Where once stood warehouses and silos, now will rise new mixed use neighbourhoods, including offices and new homes for the people of Liverpool. The city’s docks will once again be bustling with activity and commerce.
Whilst heavy industry of Liverpool’s docks has gradually disappeared from the city centre, the city’s new industries are flourishing and demanding space to grow - once again Liverpool’s docklands will be the focus of economic activity and new home to a new city centre community.

FUTURE
KEY CONCEPT 2 AN INTERNATIONAL DESTINATION Liverpool has always been an International City. As a historic trade port with historic links to the Americas and the Far East, Liverpool’s heritage is firmly grounded in its international identity. Liverpool is a pioneering city, a city of ‘world firsts’, and with the realisation of the Liverpool Waters proposals it will continue to compete on the world stage.
LIVERPOOL WORLD FIRSTS:
Today Liverpool is a popular cruise destination and disembarkation point for cruises across Northern Europe. Many tourists choose to start their journey from the city. Every year brings more and more cruise tourists into the city bringing £2billion to the local economy. The city is growing as an international tourist destination. As part of the Liverpool Waters proposals a new world class permanent cruise-liner facility will be built in the heart of this new city district. Liverpool Waters will be the arrival point for the city for thousands of visitors on route to explore the city.

KEY CONCEPT 3 COMPLETING THE ICONIC WATERFRONT Liverpool has always had a special relationship with its waterfront. Once the heart of the city’s industry and commerce, Liverpool’s iconic waterfront has driven it’s renaissance and is the home to many of the city’s iconic buildings. The City’s waterfront stretches over 2 km along the Mersey, and has a diverse cultural and leisure offer including the Tate Liverpool; Merseyside Maritime Museum; the Museum of Liverpool; the iconic ‘3 Graces’; Echo Arena and BT Convention Centre; Albert Dock and a multitude of bars, cafés, restaurants, new exhibition centre and premier hotels. Waterfront living is more popular than ever, with apartments overlooking the River Mersey forming a key part of the aspirational city lifestyle.
THE PIER HEAD
Liverpool Waters will complete this iconic waterfront, restore a further 7 former docks back into use, further extending the city centre and success of the waterfront into the World Heritage Site. Life and activity will be brought back to these docks and waterspaces within the new neighbourhoods. Each neighbourhood will have its own interface with the water with opportunities for watersports, floating leisure uses, habitat creation, restored jettys and boating.

KEY CONCEPT 4 A NEW MIXED USE CITY DISTRICT Liverpool Waters will transform the city waterfront into the city of tomorrow, with new dwellings sitting side by side with offices, retail, cultural and leisure uses. The new neighbourhoods will mix offices, dwellings, shops, cafés, bars and community facilities, creating neighbourhoods with bustling streets throughout the day and into the evening - a vibrant city life style, for a vibrant city neighbourhood. Streets will be for people - punctuated by appealing squares linked by attractive waterside promenades. Two new public parks will be created for the people of Liverpool and it’s visitors to enjoy.

NORTHERN DOCKS
FIVE DISTINCTIVE NEIGHBOURHOODS
Defined by the geometry of the dock basins and walls the northern docks form a medium rise residential neighbourhood with strong visual connections in all directions to enjoy the waterfront setting.
Liverpool Waters will ultimately have a number of distinctive neighbourhoods. Some will take their lead from those existing city quarters with a distinctive grain, scale or relationship with water, others, in particular the Central Docks will look out to the rest of the world to bring a new character and scale to Liverpool that will over time add to, and complete this iconic waterfront.
CLARENCE DOCK Similarly to the Northern Docks, the character is strongly influenced by wet and dry basins of Salisbury, Collingwood and Clarence. Clarence Graving Docks form a key public space focal point. Whilst still a residential neighbourhood, there are many visitor and night time activities. The area steps up in scale towards Central Docks.

This secondary tall building cluster provides a new dynamic urban grid focused around significant parkland open space and a canal arm. Very much the business, leisure and entertainment centre of Liverpool Waters. There are changes to the south around West Waterloo Dock, with key landmarks such as the cruise liner and cultural buildings.
A character already established by existing hotel, office and parking focused around the existing dock basin. The proposals will further activate this location with additional residential, hotel, cafĂŠs and restaurants and new pontoon spaces.

FROM PLAN TO CREATION There are a total of 88 building plots across the Liverpool Waters masterplan. To introduce the scale and diversity of development and investment opportunities, this document focuses on 12 plots across the Liverpool Waters estate. These plots showcase some of the most important buildings within Liverpool Waters, either because of their function, or their unique locations within the plan. The 12 plots cover the majority of building typologies that Liverpool Waters offers, from the key cultural building; mixed use waterside plots; single use buildings and the Shanghai Tower - the tallest building proposed on site at 55 storeys. The 12 plot studies set out the key facts for each building as well as details of the associated public realm; car parking provision and access requirements. Whilst not definitive, the studies build upon key principles that were established in the planning permission, and provide an introduction to the form and scale of buildings that Liverpool Waters will introduce to the iconic waterfront of this International City.
