The new headquarters will have approximately 2,500 square feet of office space located along the River Mersey on what was once wharfage and warehouse space. Savills’ 20 employees will occupy the first floor of Building 8 of the development. Savills also has an office on Fountain Street in Manchester.
Liza Marco, property manager at Peel Land & Property, the owners of the site, told the Liverpool Daily Post: “We are delighted Savills has chosen to establish a permanent base for their Liverpool office in Princes Dock.
“Princes Dock is in an enviable location with excellent services on offer to occupiers. Building 8 offers remarkable unobstructed views of the River Mersey, on-site parking as well as easy access to the nearby amenities at the development.”

Princes Dock is located near the famous Liver Building and, in addition to three blocks of office space, features the £28 million Malmaison Hotel and three apartment blocks. Soon to come is the £130 million New World Square, which will have an eight-floor, five-star hotel, 385 flats, shops, and restaurants.
Coutts Bank, PricewaterhouseCoopers and KPMG have also recently established themselves in Princes Dock.
There has also been an extension of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal built, which will add 1.4 miles of waterway to the canal system.
The dock was constructed by John Foster and was named after the Prince Regent, later George IV. Construction began in 1810 and was finished in 1821. In 1981, ferry services from the dock ended when P&O Ferries cancelled their overnight service from Liverpool to Belfast.
Editor’s notes: As of May 2023, Savills listed its Liverpool office address as 8 Princes Parade, Princes Dock, Liverpool L3 1DL, on its corporate website.
The firm agreed to lease 2,330 square feet on the first floor of the building in 2011, and the terms of the deal are undisclosed.
It had been reported by Peel in March 2026 that global marine consultancy Brookes Bell had become the latest high-profile office tenant at Princes Dock, having signed a lease for 5,500 square feet, joining other tenants including Griffiths & Armour, Global Ports Holding and CMA CGM, as well as a host of SMEs.
The 14.5-hectare Princes Dock sits within Liverpool Waters, Peel’s £5.5 billion redevelopment scheme of the Liverpool waterfront.
As of June 2026, Savills remained in occupation at Princes Dock.
At the time, Savills’ Manchester office address was Belvedere, 12 Booth Street, Manchester M2 4AW.
