Martins Bank Building is an iconic Grade II* listed building in the heart of Liverpool. Designed by Herbert Rowse in 1927 and opened in 1932 following 5 years of construction. Martins has been described as Rowse's "masterpiece .... And among the very best interwar classical buildings in the country". Originally designed as the headquarters for Martins Bank, later bought by Barclays in 1965, operating as their flagship Liverpool branch until 2009.
After the start of World Wall II, much of the country's gold reserve was secretly stored inside Martins to hide it from a feared invasion. About 280 tonnes of gold was carted out of London in three heavily guarded trains. Once the cache arrived in Liverpool, it was lowered down into the bank's vaults via a hatch right outside the bank building.
The repositioning of Martins Banks is set to complete in 2025 and will provide Grade A specification whilst restoring the buildings original features. The building will deliver ground floor coffee shop, restaurant, breakout and meeting space, cycle storage, tenant gym, shower and locker facilities.
The building is next to Castle Street's bustling bar and restaurant quarter, home to a host of key operators including: Rudy's Pizza, Mowgli, Alchemist, Gaucho and Hawksmoor.
Great transport links with James Street Train Station and Moorfields Train Station within a 2 minute walk and Liverpool Lime Street within 12.
