'Topping Out' Ceremony Takes Place At Hythe
A 'topping out' ceremony has taken place at Hythe, Peel L&P's Grade A business hub at Wirral Waters.
Guests included Wirral Council, the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, and the Merseyside Pension Fund.
The ceremony, which took place on Monday 02 August, marks reaching the highest point in the construction of the 'next generation' office building, part of the Four Bridges neighbourhood at Wirral Waters, which now stands at 15.3m.
Hythe was designed by award winning architects, Glenn Howells, to maximise on stunning panoramic views, showcasing both the Wirral Waters waterfront and Liverpool City skyline. It is being constructed by GMI Construction with completion expected in late 2021.
It offers over 25,000 sq ft over three floors of high quality, flexible office space for entrepreneurs and local businesses. It has been designed to maximise the health and wellbeing of workers and sets high standards in sustainability with a BREEAM-Excellent rating, which will place it in the top 10% of all buildings for its green credentials. Hythe has also been designed to accommodate the latest innovations in digital connectivity.
Lettings are now available for businesses wanting to relocate to Hythe. Business should contact lettings agents Matthews & Goodman and Avison Young for further details.
Hythe has been funded by Peel L&P, the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority and the Merseyside Pension Fund brokered by CBRE Capital Advisors. Part of the Combined Authority funding is from the Local Growth Fund, which is awarded to the Liverpool City Region Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) and invested through the Combined Authority’s Strategic Investment Fund.
Wirral Council has also played a pivotal role to support Peel L&P’s team in delivering the project, emphasising the importance of collaborative working to ensure that the vision for Wirral Waters is delivered.
Metro Mayor of the Liverpool City Region, Steve Rotheram, said: "We've invested £3m in the Hythe site to ensure that we’re able to keep offering outstanding facilities and as a catalyst to attract new businesses and jobs to the area. It's great to see that investment starting to physically take shape.
"Not only will these new facilities offer some of the most advanced office space in the area, they will also be some of the greenest and most sustainable. I'm sure they’ll help make our region a more attractive place for jobs and investment."
