A four-storey building across the road from Everton's new stadium is set to get a major transformation.
The building on Regent Road in Kirkdale will be turned into a takeaway, wine bar, and hotel apartments just in time for the completion of Bramley Moore Dock. The site, which is currently vacant, had the application approved by Liverpool city council.
The building lies within the 'Ten Streets of regeneration framework' a scheme drawn up by the council to turn the North Dock area into a creative and enterprise hub.

In recent years a wave of new developments have popped up in the area including Make Liverpool and the Ten Street Markets. The site, which was formerly an art studio and warehouse, will now see the ground floor become a takeaway, the floor above will be a wine bar and the top two floors will become hotel apartments.
The ground floor will have its own entrance from Regent Road and will be divided into customer, serving, and preparation areas. The wine bar will be fitted out with a bar and customer lounge and the apartments upstairs will have a lounge, kitchen dining area, two bedrooms, and a sauna.
The building will be run solely by the developer Mark Zhao and in the application, GEO-NEO UK Architectural said the building will provide services that are "missing from the local community" while providing "full and part time work" for "people in the community."
