Falconer Chester Hall is working with the partners involved in the further regeneration of Liverpool’s Kings Dock to help deliver a vision of leisure, residential and business uses on what is to be known as Monarchs Quay.

The submitted proposals include a landmark four-storey office building for Wirral-based The Contact Company, who are working with landowner Liverpool City Council and development partner YPG on the project which could create as many as 1,500 new jobs.

Subject to consent, it would represent the first phase of a major mixed use development which would create a new leisure, commercial and retail destination.  The planning application also includes the design and delivery of new public realm adjacent to Queen’s Dock.  The building would comprise a total of 45,000 sq ft of Grade A office space.

Further phases of development of the site could include a 2,000-seat ice rink, a hotel, new apartments and homes, restaurants, bars and shops and a car park. A new Winter Garden, public realm, ten pin bowling and an innovative virtual reality leisure centre are also being considered.
