New Everton Stadium

Watching a few videos recorded in the dark and I'm loving the way the black panels look like industrial windows when the lights are on inside (middle of the East Stand). I suppose they will all look like that during a night match or even on a gloomy winter's afternoon. Brilliant.
Only some of the panels will let light through. I can’t remember the spread, but some of them are completely solid.
 


Announced today in the English budget, Goverment investment in developing disused land and a brownfield site in the central docks area for the development of housing and connecting the City with the Northern docks.

“Liverpool City Council has also made a similar brownfield site commitment in its draft housing strategy, currently subject to a public consultation, which supports the delivery of 2,000 new homes every year to 2030 and to double the number of affordable homes across the city.

“The key infrastructure within the 10.5-hectare scheme, which comprises underground utilities, roads, pavements, public park, green spaces, and public amenities, will lay the groundwork for future investments and the development of a diverse mix of new housing in addition to commercial, community, retail and leisure facilities. 20% of the new homes planned at Central Docks will be affordable.

With full planning approval for the site preparation work, the comprehensive plans for Central Docks include the creation of an interconnected network of public spaces. The proposed new landscape will be enriched with the planting of hundreds of trees, with the centrepiece being ‘Central Park,’ a sprawling 2.1-hectare oasis, set to become one of the city’s largest urban green spaces.

Central Park’s design will celebrate the site’s industrial heritage and coastal location, blending coastal and woodland plantations, wetlands, and open parkland. Embracing inclusivity and sustainability, the park will feature amenities such as shelters, sports and recreational facilities, play spaces and wildlife habitats, to be enjoyed by both residents and visitors.

The development will also significantly enhance connectivity for pedestrians and cyclists, with the ultimate aim of creating seamless open access between the city centre, Princes Dock, Central Docks and Everton’s new stadium at Bramley Moore Dock.”

They are making a lot out of a 2.1 hectare (5 acre) Central Park. It will be nice to have some designed green space on the waterfront but it is a relatively small oasis in what threatens to be a featureless morass of mediocre offices (like those already delivered) and boxy housing (see Wirral Waters recent development).

I live in North London and we have a lot of that kind of development around Euston Square and Kings X that has not driven much economic uplift to the area (though the Pandemic has seen significant spaces left empty). The waterfront needs at least one more signature leisure attraction (theatre/concert venue/museum etc.) between the ferry terminal and BMD IMO to make it attractive.
