A new build, 1 bed apartment in SW6 is going for £1.3m and that’s off plan. In 3 years I guessing that’ll be touching £1.7n, you’ll never get that return in Liverpool. And I doubt a multi billionaire is arsed about buying a couple of properties in a new development, he’d want a prime seat in the development.

Liverpool’s office space availability has always been poor compared to other major cities like Manchester, the lack of quality A grade office space has been talked about for years but all developers want to build is student digs.

A lot also depends on the success of the Atlantic gateway and the ability to get L2 really competing by driving trade from the southern ports

This is a great point.

We always seem to be 3-5 years behing Manchester in a lot of things.

It's definitely improving with areas like the Baltic etc, but don't know if we will ever catch up on all fronts.

Not sure I buy it.

Yes it’s a valuable piece of real estate potentially, but there’s real estate in London worth just as much all over the city.

It’s hardly a ‘holy grail’ for a multi billionaire.

They said the same thing about da Vinci and his work. One person buys one, hypes it, then everyone wants one a d the price goes up. Just needs to 'start'.

Was at the Manchester Arena last week and the amount of development is staggering, huge cranes everywhere and I mean huge. We are miles behind them and when you look at the councils and political pygmies we have had over the years its no real surprise.

I’m not doubting you but this is looking to go ahead.

If they are going to make money off the back of LW then I agree with what you say they will partner up with a developer probably taking the financial risks away from them and building from scratch. That way they could be looking at very healthy returns on apartment blocks if the area takes off as one of the most desirable places to live in Liverpool.

If a block costs 30k per apartment to build and they can sell those from new at > 130k, just think how much they would be able to sell when the area is all finished plus the rental income in the meantime.

This can't be overstated. The amount of infighting that we seem to have as a city is nothing short of embarassing, even if you ignore the stadium. The amount of times they have tripped themselves up in the past is scandalous.

Which also is an amazing example of how well and rapidly peel holdings can do a docks development

Politicians are too obsessed with personal ideals to see beyond the end of their noses.

 

[catcherintherye]

Correct.

London property isn't 'overpriced' in an investor's eyes when the return is consistently good year on year. Liverpool will never have the demand or value that London does, certainly not in Usmanov's lifetime.

London property prices shrank last year. If you bought 10 million pounds worth of property at the Docks, and ensured the proposals went ahead, and bought the same value of property in London one would accelerate in growth much more.

 

[RobC]

Using London as a comparator to any other UK city is redundant, normal rules do not apply, it is a true world city and a financial powerhouse. It will always be attractive to successful/ambitious/skilled workers and that includes footballers. Its why West Ham will always attract players as London is a boss place to live if you are loaded.

I was thinking that could happen in Liverpool when channel 4 announced that they were looking at moving their headquarters north, but this week they announced it won’t be Liverpool due to a lack of transport infrastructure. It’s a real shame because it could have kick started a regeneration for part of the city

chicken and egg though no? There are firm plans to add connections to the existing rail network to service the liverpool waters planned developments? plus some of the early road access work has started, which if designed correctly could accommodate bus lanes and priority at lights, current tech camera enforcement etc. That infrastructure won't be built until the commercial/residential dev is there first. Hopefully BMD will trigger this.
