L51 Developments has received the green light from Sefton Council to redevelop the former HSBC site into a 180,000 sq ft tech hub.

The 5.5-acre site will aim to attract firms working in the robotics and high-tech manufacturing sectors.

The refurb, which includes two former HSBC data centres, will include a link between the two existing buildings – in addition to a new-build three-storey 30,000 sq ft light industrial unit with office space. It has been designed by Tim Groom Architects and Mather & Co.

Cllr Marion Atkinson, Sefton Council’s cabinet member for regeneration and skills said: “Investment and development of this kind here in Sefton is absolutely critical to not just our borough, but to the whole of the Liverpool City Region’s digital infrastructure. As our ways of working are driven by technology more than ever before, it is vital that Sefton supports those who have the vision to create working environments that provide the best opportunities for job creation and business growth.”
