Metquarter
Metquarter is an luxury shopping centre consisting primarily of boutique stores located in central Liverpool, England. All businesses located in Metquarter are members of City Central, a Business Improvement District (BID) representing approximately 630 businesses in the retail and leisure heart of Liverpool city centre. ==History== The current Metquarter building previously served as Liverpool's General Post Office, and was probably the finest post office in the UK, reminiscent of a French chateau.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tagged: Victoria Street ) blog, photo of original condition〕 Unfortunately, the building was severely damaged in the May blitz in 1941, resulting in the demolition of the upper floors. Formerly owned by The Walton Group the site was acquired in 2004 by Milligan (a retail development company that is also linked with Triangle Manchester the retail and leisure operations in Manchester and London Luton Airports) and J. W. Kaempfer and Richardson Developments who envisaged to help transform Liverpool city centre into a much more international and contemporary city. Over the space of two years from what was thought to cost £70 million eventually came to a total of £100 million and the former Post Office building was transformed into a leisure and retail centre. Metquarter was officially opened on 9 March 2006. Following a successful 18-month launch period, Milligan sold Metquarter in August 2007 to Anglo Irish Bank Private Banking and Alanis Capital, the current owners.
