The ambitious plan to turn the iconic but dilapidated Littlewoods Building in Liverpool, UK, into a major TV and film studios has taken a big step forwards.
The project’s developer, Capital&Centric has entered into a partnership with Liverpool City Region Combined Authority and Liverpool City Council to get going on the first phase of the £70M (86M) regeneration plan.
This comes soon after the Combined Authority approved an £8M package of remediation, design and planning, which comprised part of a bigger £17M funding package, which has also delivered The Depot studios adjoining at a cost of £3M. Deliberations over the plan have been ongoing for a year.
The plan is to turn the Littlewoods Building, whose iconic art deco storefront was the HQ of shopping store Littlewoods, into one of the UK’s biggest and most important TV and film complexes, with Twickenham Studios already signed up as the anchor tenant.
