Sixth Boxpark to open in Liverpool
Boxpark has announced its sixth site, and its first Boxpark-branded development outside of the capital, as it heads to Liverpool in 2023. It has agreed a 15-year lease with Terracotta Asset Management Limited for The Canning Hall site in the south of Liverpool city.
Built in the 1980s, the tall portal frame warehouse building will be transformed into a food and entertainment destination, featuring a large internal space with units set over the ground floor, a small internal mezzanine and an external terrace. Spanning 16,000 sq. ft and holding 400 internal covers, plus 200 external ones, the proposals for Boxpark Liverpool will include around 10 kitchen units and three internal bars.
Simon Champion, chief executive officer of Boxpark, said: “Our team has searched extensively for sites in Liverpool since 2016, having considered multiple locations across the city. As a dynamic and fast-growing business, we hope Boxpark will be an exciting addition to Liverpool’s buzzing scene, offering an all-day food and entertainment destination.”
Earlier this year, the company announced the rollout of its sibling, premium food and beverage concept BoxHall. Sites will be opening in Bristol and Liverpool Street, London, next year.
