The Impact of Liverpool Waters on Commercial Construction Trends

Liverpool Waters, a £5 billion regeneration project, is transforming Liverpool’s waterfront into a global destination for business and leisure. This ambitious initiative is reshaping commercial construction in Liverpool, driving demand for innovative, sustainable buildings.

At ARPG, we deliver commercial projects that align with these emerging trends. This blog explores how Liverpool Waters is influencing construction trends and how ARPG supports developers in this dynamic market.

What is Liverpool Waters?

Spanning 60 hectares, Liverpool Waters aims to create 2 million square metres of mixed-use space, including offices, homes, and retail. The project is a catalyst for Liverpool’s commercial growth, with the city’s property market projected to expand by 15% by 2030 (Liverpool City Region Combined Authority).

How Liverpool Waters Shapes Construction Trends

1. Demand for Sustainable Buildings

Liverpool Waters emphasises net-zero goals, driving demand for energy-efficient designs. For example, a new office block could save 20% on energy costs with LED lighting and insulation.

2. Rise of Mixed-Use Developments

The project’s blend of commercial and residential spaces inspires similar developments, maximising land use in Liverpool’s urban core.

3. Focus on Smart Technology

Smart systems for energy and security are integral to Liverpool Waters, setting a standard for modern commercial buildings.

4. Enhanced Waterfront Design

Developments must complement Liverpool’s iconic waterfront, requiring innovative architectural solutions.

Challenges in Liverpool’s Commercial Construction

• Regulatory Compliance: Strict regulations (e.g., Part L) ensure sustainability and safety.

• Environmental Constraints: Waterfront sites face challenges like flooding and wind.

• Cost Management: High-quality designs must balance budgets.
