Fresh images of Liverpool Boxpark as project progresses
Plans for the 16,000 sq ft leisure venue at Cains Brewery Village have been submitted to the city council as the venture gears up for opening next year.
Working with architect BDP and planning consultant Quod, Boxpark has worked up designs for how its first complex outside London will look.
Boxpark will take over Canning Hall, a space currently occupied by Red Brick Market, which will relocate to another site a short distance away.
Images accompanying the Boxpark planning application show what the Liverpool site will look like following the company’s planned £3.5m investment.
The scheme would see the creation of a “high-quality food and beverage venue with a central eating piazza”, according to Quod.

This space will be designed so that it can be configured to hold events and entertainment such as pop-up markets, art and fashion shows and music events.
A mezzanine level will provide 7,700 sq ft of additional space within the unit while an outdoor terrace is also proposed.
Boxpark signed a 15-year lease on the Liverpool site.
The company opened its first site in Shoreditch in 2010. A further two London venues have launched in the intervening years, one in Croydon and one in Wembley.

Hmm I understand Redbrick Market is moving around the corner to make way, but looking at that, what does it mean for birdies bar that currently occupy the outside space?

The Baltic Food Market is already massively popular so Box Park will be a further draw, once Parliament Square is occupied ,and One Baltic Square, this will just add to the customer base.

How many local businesses are being displaced?

All business is welcomed ,be it local or external investment, it`s time this Royston Vasey attitude was put to bed, many of our local companies invest elsewhere eg Downing, Castore etc.
I am ok with Boxpark coming and also happy for Redbrick too, it`s a win-win.
