Everton’s proposed new waterfront stadium will generate £1 billion for the local economy.
Over 12,000 jobs are also set to be created in the Blues’ relocation to a site at the Bramley Moore Dock in time for the start of the 2020/21 campaign.
An investment firm working with Everton on the project anticipate that more than £900m will be invested in the city before the stadium’s completion.
CBRE have hailed the impending move to Bramley Moore Dock as a ‘game-changer’ for both the club and Liverpool’s economy overall.
Iain Jenkinson, CBRE’s Senior Director of Planning and Development said: “This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for Liverpool to embrace one of the most significant and unique regenerative investments the city has ever seen.
“The economic contribution to the city of Liverpool through Everton’s new stadium at Bramley Moore Dock, the catalytic effect it will have on surrounding neighbourhoods, and the facilitation of the equally important Goodison legacy project make this a package of inter-related projects that, when taken together, will prove a game-changer for the city.
“Importantly, it will further enhance the city’s international reputation for delivering major transformational projects on such a large scale.”
Robert Elstone, Everton’s chief executive, added: “As well as proving an iconic new home for future generations of Evertonians, our investment in Bramley Moore Dock will bring lasting and substantial benefit to the city of Liverpool.
“Being part of a project that will offer so many transformational opportunities is hugely exciting for a club with a second-to-none commitment to its city and we remain grateful to the commitment of all the parties working so hard to make this a reality.
“The club continues to work hard on plans for a lasting legacy at Goodison Park which will protect the needs of our current neighbours and deliver further regeneration benefits to the local community and the wider city region.”
