Liverpool’s Edward Pavilion officially opens for business

The newly refurbished Edward Pavilion is now open for business.

The Grade I listed building, situated in Liverpool’s landmark Royal Albert Dock, has undergone a multi-million pound transformation, by developer Castleforge Partners, and will offer state-of-the-art office space for businesses of all sizes.

The launch event welcomed over 280 of the region’s key businesses and individuals, and celebrated the workspace being the latest part of the world-famous waterfront destination to undergo a transformation. Surrounding Edward Pavilion, the dock’s vibrant selection of leisure attractions and food and drink establishments is also preparing to welcome additions including popular Liverpool eatery Maray and a new venture from The Barrie Bros.

In the afternoon an exclusive long table fine dining lunch was served to over 40 guests in the top floor of the building prepared by LFC Catering.


The lavish three-course meal was served to VIP attendees in the property’s 25,000 sq ft top floor office space, which is currently under offer.

Later that day, with celebrations in full flow, the doors were opened to companies and individuals looking for a new place to start or move their business.

Potential occupiers, alongside bloggers and corporate guests, were welcomed with Champagne and given the opportunity to explore the new-look property and its iconic waterfront setting in the sunshine.

DJs, gin bars, fun photo booths and jukeboxes made it a summer party to remember, and guests left the event with Liverpool-themed goodies including illustrated cans of beer and tote bags.

Whilst fizz and canapes were consumed, staff from Castleforge Partners and the team from Clockwise, the first occupier at Edward Pavilion, showed guests around the office building which provides space totalling 70,000 sq ft.

Serviced office provider Clockwise will operate on two floors, offering contemporary private offices and shared workspace with flexible membership plans.

Rachael Pittaway, from Castleforge Partners, said: “Since acquiring Edward Pavilion in December 2017, we have stopped at nothing to ensure the building becomes the latest destination in Liverpool for businesses to operate from.

“There is a real demand in Liverpool at the moment for grade A office space and so we’re delighted to be able to meet this need and offer a unique work place in the city.

“We are overwhelmed with the interest we have received so far and with 25,000 sq ft currently under offer at the site, only 8,000 sq ft of traditional office space remains available at this landmark location. With Clockwise on board we can also continue to offer serviced space for businesses with workforces of two to 20 people.”

Kerri McKenna, from Clockwise, added: “Our successful launch event has prompted some very promising interest moving forward, and we have already had enquiries from companies within the professional services sector and the creative and digital industries.”

In honour of its listed status, Edward Pavilion has been sympathetically restored to make the most of its original features. The 19th century warehouse has impressive barrel-vaulted ceilings, exposed brickwork, raised floors and cast iron columns that give the inside space incredible character.

Facilities at Edward Pavilion include:

• Spacious, collaborative breakout areas over three floors
• Five generous meeting rooms for 4–16 people
• High speed Wi-Fi throughout the building and laptop stations
• Impressive event space
• Independent on site café serving fresh, artisan food daily
• Bike storage for 30 bikes
• Modern showers, private changing rooms and secure lockers
• Exclusive members package offering local leisure discounts
• Gold Wired score rating, meaning it has excellent digital infrastructure and connectivity – a first in Liverpool!
• Manned reception and Concierge
