Situated in the Ropewalks area of Liverpool, known for its vibrant cultural scene, our vision was to create a lifestyle destination combining a modern workplace environment with complementary leisure uses.
Our full remodel was completed in 2022, sensitively restoring the part Grade II listed property across two adjoining buildings. The exceptional refurbishment attracted interest from major technology companies, and is now let in its entirety on a 11.5 year lease to Sony-owned video game developer Firesprite.
The letting marks one of the most significant commercial lettings deals in the Liverpool market since 2019, and has been recognised as a prestigious award winner.

Our conversion of 91 and 105 Duke Street, which includes Liverpool’s grade two-listed former public library, has transformed the property into an ultra modern office space, creating 50,893 sq ft of work and studio space arranged over ground, 1st, 2nd and two basement floors.
Sony have recently finalised their extensive CAT B fit out which is estimated to have cost c. £4m, helping to make Duke & Parr one of the most inspiring and technologically immersive workspaces in Liverpool.
The communal areas bring flexible workspaces with high ceilings and floods of natural light for a better work/life experience, enabling tenants to get together to collaborate in the centrally located full height glass atrium, and interact in the building’s fantastic shared amenities, as well as the the large open plan work spaces and meeting rooms.
Due to the highly successful renovation and long-term let to Firesprite, Duke & Parr has been nominated for several prestigious property awards in 2023 in the category Commercial Property Deal of the Year, including; Property Week’s Property Awards, North-West Business Insider’s Commercial Property Awards, and the Insider Liverpool City Region Property Awards. In 2024 the project was recognised with a win at the Insider North West Property Awards.
