Commercial Investments

The important thing about investing in property is to identify an area that is undergoing massive regeneration which provides the catalyst for economic change. New infrastructure, major external investment, Improvements to retail and public transport all create more jobs which in turn boost the economy and therefore drive up property prices. St Helens is a perfect example of all of these factors and a property investment in this thriving town is sure to be a sound one.

The past twenty years have seen major redevelopments in the town centre. This has included mass pedestrianisation of much of shopping area, with traffic being directed around the town centre on existing roads. 

The George Street Quarter regeneration programme left an impressive stamp on the town. The George Street area receives foot traffic from the railway station so the area was enhanced to leave a positive impression on tourists. Major improvements were made to building exteriors, parking, security, street furniture and paving. This has attracted several new businesses to the quarter including award-winning restaurants.

The town centre has exploded over this time with many new or relaunched drinking establishments. Many of the new bars including Boudoir, Bar Java, Cafe Chloe and Zoo are centred around Westfield Street and Bridge Street in the town centre.

There are several restaurants in the town centre with an increasingly mixed cuisine on offer. The George Quarter alone has Italian, Spanish, French/Modern British at Le Frog, Chinese and Thai cuisine on offer.

The principal hotel is the four star Park Inn built during a period of massive commercial augmentation in the town during the mid-1990s. Other large hotels are the Holiday Inn, Travelodge and Thistle Hotel in Haydock.

The town centre has two indoor shopping centres. The oldest is the Hardshaw Centre. Church Square forms two shopping centres, which include an indoor Market. Other main shopping streets include Bridge Street, Westfield Street and Duke Street.

The important thing about investing in property is to identify an area that is undergoing massive regeneration which provides the catalyst for economic change.
