An unnamed private investor acquires a Grade II-listed commercial building in Liverpool city centre that dates back to the 1860s. Tony McDonough reports
Property firm Glenbrook has sold a Grade II-listed commercial building in Liverpool city centre to an unnamed private investor for an undisclosed sum.
One Temple Square is a 18,761 sq ft office building fronting onto Dale Street in the city’s commercial district. Glenbrook acquired the property in 2017 and, shortly afterwards, ordered a full refurbishment.
Originally constructed in 1864-65, One Temple Square was designed by Sir James Picton, a renowned English antiquary and architect known for his contributions to Liverpool’s public life, particularly in establishing public libraries.
As well as office space on the upper floors the building is also home to a restaurant and dentist on the lower ground floor. Solomon Halpern at Glenbrook Investments, said: “One Temple Square is a well-located, mixed-use asset with a strong occupier appeal.

“As a Grade II listed building, it combines historic character with contemporary office accommodation, making it an attractive proposition for local businesses.
“This sale aligns with our investment strategy, and we are pleased to have completed a successful transaction with the buyer.”
Glenbrook Investments was advised by Cushman & Wakefield and Brabners. The buyer was advised by CBRE and Hill Dickinson.
