Edge Lane Retail Park
Background information
Edge Lane Retail Park was built in stages from the early 1990's onwards, perhaps reaching the peak of its popularity at the end of that decade. Today it is very tired, with a number of its units unoccupied in preparation for a full re-development. This re-development will see the demolition of every building on the site (excluding McDonald's) and several more buildings in the near vicinity, as the new retail park fully utilises the land available, and expands onto the existing Rathbone Park. The existing light industrial businesses located between the current retail park and Rathbone Park will be re-located to new/re-developed units on the opposite side of Edge Lane. Offering 600,000 sq. ft. of space, the new retail park will overtake the New Mersey Retail Park in Speke (473,000 sq. ft.) as the city's largest retail park. The re-developed retail park will comprise 47 retail units, together with four restaurants and three leisure units. Some units will be double-fronted facing outwards to Edge Lane, and inwards towards the car park. The car park itself will consist of 1,680 spaces split over two levels, plus cycle spaces.
