Award winning property developer Urban Splash today announced LiverpoolFC.TV, a joint venture between Liverpool Football Club and ITV Plc, is the latest tenant at Matchworks II, Speke Road, Garston, Liverpool.

LiverpoolFC.TV is the media arm of the football club and has taken two units at the award winning site totalling 11,120 sq ft on a six year lease. The space will be used as a TV studio and will also be home to the production arm of the website, which with over a million fans logging on each month is one of the most visited football club websites in the world.

Stephen Michael, General Manager of LiverpoolFC.TV said: “After a long search for appropriate premises, we were delighted to settle on the Matchworks. The space is very contemporary, hugely flexible and has proven to be perfect for our new headquarters and television studios. We are very much looking forward to getting established in our new home.”

“We’re pleased to welcome LiverpoolFC.TV to Matchworks II and their creative use of the space reflects the versatility of the accommodation we have to offer here - and there are plenty of fans in the office who are very excited about our latest signing! said Lynn Haime, Associate Director, Urban Splash Work.  “We’re now over 60% let in the scheme with interest in the last few units at Matchworks II and also in our new Matchbox which will be ready to occupy later this year.”

Urban Splash has five units remaining at Matchworks II ranging from 2585 sq ft to 9282 sq ft.  Rents are £3.50 per sq ft for studio/workshop space and £7.50 per sq ft for fully fitted, high quality office space. Ample on site car parking is provided at no additional cost.

Also on the same site is the contemporary Matchbox, the first new build by Urban Splash in Liverpool and will provide 19,000 sq ft of Grade A office accommodation.  Urban Splash believes the landmark building will be an excellent location for a prestigious headquarters and it will be ready to occupy from the Autumn.
