The highly anticipated development has been granted a premises licence for its drinks and entertainment, which allows it to open daily until 1am, and until 2am the morning following New Year’s Eve.
More than one million people expected to visit each year
Outlined in the planning permission approval back in February, the group is investing more than £3.5m into the Baltic Triangle and is expected to bring 150 jobs to the community. On top of this, the scheme will also drive a “significant volume of footfall” to the area, with more than one million people expected to visit each year.
Spanning 21,000 sq ft and holding 400 internal covers, plus 200 external, BOXPARK Liverpool will include ten kitchen units and three internal bars with additional external bars.
There will also be a 5,430 sq ft external garden to offer al fresco dining and intimate events.
First site of its kind outside of London
BOXPARK Liverpool will be the first site of its kind outside of London, adding to the three current developments in Shoreditch, Croydon and Wembley.
The company has agreed a 15-year lease with Cains Brewery Village for the scheme.
BOXPARK chief executive Simon Champion said: “We have had a successful early 2023 with the planning permission and licensing application now fully approved for BOXPARK Liverpool.
Working hard behind the scenes
“Our team has been working hard behind the scenes and it very much feels like we’re on the home straight to transforming Canning Hall at Cains Brewery.
“We’re looking forward to our future in Liverpool and the positive impact we’ll bring to the local region’s economy.”
Representing a major investment in the area
Mayor of Liverpool Joanne Anderson added: “I was very impressed with BOXPARK’s plans for the Baltic Triangle. Their arrival represents a major investment in the area and underlines the growing confidence in the city’s appeal to investors.
“I’m sure the company will be a welcome and popular addition to our leisure offer when they open later this year.”
