Phase 2 of the Estuary Commerce Park is now well underway - rebranded as Liverpool International Business Park by its owners Peel Holdings. Covering over 154 acres, it will eventually provide 2.9 million square feet of mixed use commercial space and employ 9,600 people during the 15-20 year timespan of the development. Already, it has become home to some of the city's largest newest buildings.
- Europe's most advanced magazine printing plant arrived in September 2005. The £131 million Prinovis Liverpool site was opened by its backers, German media giant Arvato Bertelsmann, Gruner & Jahr, and Axel Springer. Providing 400 jobs initially, the firm promises another 600 if it is successful. Their major clients include furniture giant Ikea, catalogue group Argos and supermarket leader Tesco. Prinovis's gravure presses are ideally suited to high quality, high volume colour publications, magazines, newspaper supplements, retail publications, home shopping and travel catalogues.

- "The Vault", a 600,000 sq ft speculative distribution warehouse, was completed in April 2007. With 56 dock levellers and space for 110 trailers, this huge facility has enormous capacity and scope to attract warehousing/distribution industries.

- Business Homes were one of the first developers to complete a cluster of speculative new offices aimed at smaller businesses. Their site was completed and opened in July 2007, with all but one of the nine units being taken by the end of the year by a variety of new and relocating firms such as food company Juvela - a subsidiary of international consumer food company Hero - who are a leading prescription brand of gluten free products sold in the UK and Ireland.

- Liverpool-based property fund management company Property First Asset Management has also commenced work on its £13million Spirit Business Village. To be completed in 2009, the development comprises office suites from 500 sq ft up to 40,000 sq ft with letting terms ranging from one day to 10 years.
