Liverpool One wins top ICSC award
Published: 24 May, 2011
Liverpool One was one of only two centres worldwide to achieve top global honours at the ICSC’s VIVA Awards in Las Vegas yesterday
Liverpool One, Grosvenor's city centre regeneration scheme, scooped The VIVA (Vision, Innovation, Value, Achievement) Best-of-the-Best Award which honours the most outstanding examples of shopping center design and development, sustainability, marketing, and community service worldwide.
Liverpool One is a retail-driven, mixed-use project that transformed 17ha of Liverpool's city center into a dynamic commercial destination. 30 buildings have been designed by 26 different architects, in five distinct districts built around the existing streets of the city. Each district offers a different character and design, and together they add up to 175 retail shops totaling 130,000 sq m, plus leisure and catering, restaurants, apartments, hotels, offices, a new public transportation interchange and a replacement five-acre public park over underground parking.
Peter Vernon, CEO of Grosvenor Britain & Ireland who accepted the Award in Las Vegas, said: “We are all enormously proud of Liverpool One, and part of that pride comes from having developed not only a commercial success, but one that provides a vibrant, urban environment for the people of Liverpool.”
AEON LakeTown, Koshigaya, Japan won the VIVA Sustainability Award.
