Liverpool One backs the Liverpool Embassy in London
Grosvenor Liverpool Fund, owner of Liverpool ONE has announced its sponsorship of the Liverpool Embassy in London, by committing to a £20k Ambassadorial Plus package.
The Embassy, was opened at the end of January and is based in the heart of London’s financial district at 35, New Broad Street.
The Embassy has been established to showcase all that Liverpool has to offer both to private and public sectors, as well as being a meeting place for businesses to find out more about the City, and better understand how well it is placed as a thriving metropolis in the north-west of England.
In sponsoring the Embassy, the Liverpool Fund investors, including Grosvenor, continue their commitment to the success, not only of Liverpool ONE, but of Liverpool City Centre and the wider City Region.
The confidence in the future success of the city was further demonstrated by the recent £385m refinancing of the Liverpool fund and the injection on new equity into the fund by the existing investors.
Liverpool ONE is trading successfully, and has performed exceptionally since opening two years ago, despite the challenging economic climate. It is currently 98 per cent let, with 20 new retailers opening in the past 12 months.
The number of visitors to Liverpool ONE also continues to grow and now stands at more than 24.6m visitors per year. Liverpool ONE has consistently outperformed the IPD Index of large UK shopping centres.
Sarah-Jane Curtis, Fund Manager, Grosvenor Liverpool Fund, said: “Our experience of working in Liverpool and with organisations in the city is a wholly positive one and continues to be so.
“We are delighted to be working with Liverpool City Council and other private sector partners to raise the profile of Liverpool as a city to work, visit and in which to invest. The Embassy is a unique way in which to achieve these objectives.”
Cllr Joe Anderson, leader of Liverpool City Council, said: “Grosvenor’s support of the Embassy is a real coup for the project and we’re extremely pleased to have attracted an organisation with such significant interests in the city.
“Liverpool’s Embassy has got off to a flying start and is already generating a huge amount of interest. Getting Grosvenor on board only adds to the momentum of this venture.”
