To Let

Be one of the bright young retailers moving in to L1, along with Harvey Nics, the Kooples and Forever21!

We have a number of spaces on offer at the Bluecoat, suitable for creative industries and retail, some of which are new to the market. These offer various opportunities for mixed use spaces. If you have a business you would like to bring to the Bluecoat, please contact Emma Smith on emma.s@thebluecoat.org.uk or 0151 702 5328 to arrange a viewing.

On offer

We currently have...
...one business space to let (Studio 22) to a creative industry that would benefit a city centre location. See the feature sheet below.
...three retail units to let to adventurous and daring creative retailers, that may also require mixed use spaces. The units available cost between c.£5,000-£35,000k and range from c. 210-970 square feet. Look at the Unit 7 feature sheet (one of the three retail units available) for an idea of what is on offer, but please bear in mind there are two more, previously un-marketed, retail units that we are keen for you to see. These have access from the  Courtyard/Hub and/or garden and while working on sheets for these we're still very happy to discuss them and/or show them to you. Call 0151 702 5328 to arrange a site visit and discuss the possibilities.

Building businesses for the future

As you will see, the unit listed in the completed feature sheet is for a shell that can be transformed simply and easily. The remaining units require a little bit of vision and upfront investment to transform them into stunning and unique spaces. The reward for undertaking these works will be:

1. Favourable licence lengths and free period considerations
2. Easy-in licence options
3. The more difficult building permissions have already been granted (discuss with vendor) therefore are ready for work to commence. You can build your unique space quickly and easily, moulding it for your business
4. There is no chain, meaning work can start when you are ready
5. A creative community support package is built in to the licence agreement, which means we will support you, where appropriate, by offering you additional space for project/product launches, events and/or meetings
6. Immediately enter the market with an established arts, craft and creative audience, supported by a growing on-site retail community (689,000 visitors in 2010)
7. Gain immediate entry to the Liverpool ONE retail membership scheme
8. Close proximity to a) Liverpool ONE b) the new developments on Hanover Street c) the building of Central Village d) the refurbishment of Central Station and e) being under a minute away from the flagship opening of Harvey Nichols, due to open in October 2012.
