New Everton Stadium

Exactly.....not much call for brand new residential accommodation right next to a football stadium. Retail/F&B will be l all over that area until at least level with the Titanic.

A few thousand Evertonians might fancy living next to it. I've been looking at the Tobacco warehouse myself haha. Any Retail/F&B may well be quite dependent on a large local resident population to help increase that viability. The whole Liverpool waters scheme is dependent on better connectivity and density, it has been watered down over recent years and I think has stalled partly because of those basic inadequacies. The stadium book ends the whole scheme in an area that was originally only earmarked for medium-density residential/marina type development. There is potential for the stadium to act as the catalyst for the whole development, to greatly bulk up the offer at that end by shifting the centre of gravity of the plan. A fortnightly event venue won't do that alone though.

Sure, the ground alone won't support event spaces and bars etc, but as you say.... The only reason we got the land was to bookend the stalled Liverpool Waters Project. (if people aren't keen to love right next to a football stadium, their definitely not up for life next to a water treatment plant.)

You can easily see over the next 10 years a lot of the land being developed, nothing like the original vision but I think it could easily be busy enough year round.
