A building on one of the city’s most historic and sought after streets has gone up for sale.
The Grade II listed former office building at 17-21 Castle Street has been put on the market and could bring about further change to the bustling business and nightlife district of the city centre.
Built in the 1880s, the building comprises 14,500 sq ft of space set across four storeys and a basement.

It has gone on the market for £1.5m and is being sold by the Landwood Group.
Castle Street was once at the epicentre of the city’s trading history and is home to a number of former banks which make up the high density of listed buildings in the area.
More recently the area has become a thriving centre for nightlife, with some of the city’s most popular restaurants and bars situated along Castle Street.
The former office building at 17-21 Castle Street has been stripped out internally and could therefore add to the growing hotel and hospitality offer in the area once in the hands of a new owner.
Helen Jude, Director of Property at Landwood Group, said: “This stunning and ornate building has been at the centre of Liverpool’s vibrant culture and historic past for more than 140 years.
“With a large physical footprint and an enviable location, the building offers the buyer a chance to be a part of Liverpool’s history, as Castle Street lies at the centre of the city’s exciting future and economic growth.
“Many of the buildings in the vicinity have been converted into hotels and aparthotels, and the building itself has been stripped out internally, so it’s a great opportunity for someone looking to take on a similar project, subject to the agreement of a Section 106.”
