Nobels wins £600k Baltic Triangle contract

MERSEYSIDE-based Nobles Construction has won the contract to redevelop the first phase of Liverpool’s Baltic Triangle area.

The work, worth around £600,000 to Nobles in the first instance, has started on five key sites off Jamaica Street, and on completion the space will be leased to digital and creative firms.

The project is being overseen by Baltic Creative, Which was set up by Liverpool Vision to acquire property in Liverpool’s Baltic Triangle area, using £5.2m of funding from the Northwest Regional Development Agency (NWDA) and European Regional Development Fund.

This latest development comes just weeks after Pritchard revealed plans to develop the second phase of existing works in another section of Baltic Triangle, behind Wapping.

Peter Linford, director at Nobles Construction, said: “Liverpool is such a vibrant city, alive with all aspects of culture, and it would certainly benefit from the addition of a dedicated creative area.

“We’re delighted to be working on such an important scheme, which will bring the area to life and secure future investment for the city.”

Jenny Douglas at Liverpool Vision, said: “This brings the vision of a creative hub at the heart of the city closer. Liverpool’s reputation as a business location is going from strength to strength, and this project will create another asset for the city’s business reputation, creating new jobs and levering in new investment.”
