Plans to sell the Royal Liver Building have been placed on hold.
The city’s iconic landmark was placed on the market in March by its co-owners Corestate Capital and Everton’s majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri.
It marked only the second time that the grade I-listed building, which is home to several leading companies, had been up for sale in its 111-year history.
A £90 million price tag was floated by Luxembourg-based Corestate, who hold a 35% stake, and Toffees supremo Moshiri, who retains 49.9% ownership.
Real estate advisor CBRE had been charged with marketing of a potential sale but confirmed on Monday that the Liver Building is no longer open to offers.
A CBRE spokesperson said: “Whilst there was significant global and national interest in the asset, the sale process is currently on hold and the owners are forging forward with the active asset management of the property and delivering on the next phase of the Royal Liver Building’s world-class occupier environment.”
