The transformation of the former Littlewoods Building in Liverpool into a 270,000 sq ft film and TV campus has been recommended for approval next week.
A planning application was submitted by Capital & Centric last year, proposing to open up the site to the public for the first time, with courtyard gardens and a roof terrace, a screening and performance zone, and a foodhall.
The developer is part-way through enabling work on the project and is looking to engage with contractors for the main restoration works, which include two new 20,000 sq ft studios for big-budget productions.
Capital & Centric is working with Liverpool City Council as freeholder of the site and Liverpool City Region Combined Authority as project funder. The combined authority, led by mayor Steve Rotheram, has committed up to £17m to the project.
