St Pauls Square in Liverpool Tops Out
Main contractor Shepherd Construction joined with developer English Cities Fund (ECf) in holding a ‘topping out’ ceremony at its St Paul’s Square project in Liverpool last week to celebrate a major milestone in the development.
Max Steinberg, the newly appointed Chief Executive of Liverpool Vision, led the ceremony by bolting on the final glass fin to the façade of the building. Other attendees included members of the North West Development Agency and Liverpool City Council.
Due to complete in May 2011, No 4 St Paul's Square is a109,000 sq ft building that will provide much-needed grade A speculative office space. This is the third project that Shepherd Construction has undertaken on behalf of ECf.
Mr Steinberg commented, “A vibrant commercial district is key to continued growth of the city’s economy and the St Paul’s Square development is one of the most significant new office-led schemes in Liverpool City Centre for a decade.
“With the completion of this final phase, St Paul’s Square will help maintain development momentum and is a reflection of the confidence that exists in the City despite tougher economic conditions. I have no doubt it will become a vital focal point of the dynamic business quarter we have in Liverpool.”
