The Fourth Grace building planned for Liverpool and designed by Will Alsop now seems unlikely to go ahed due to “spiralling costs” and the withdrawal of the public sector partners. The project has gone from an estimated £228m to £324m and is seen as no longer viable. A Liverpool Vision spokesperson has said that “new plans would be developed by September”. It is possible that Urban Splash will now step back in with the Liverpool Ark, designed by Foster & Partners. The Ark was one of the shortlisted schemes and was the most popular design following the public consultation exercise. The Ark includes 23,225 sq m (250,000 sq ft) of offices with retail and residential space and also included the Museum of Liverpool Life. - (24-07-2004)
