Fourth Grace

Fourth Grace

The Fourth Grace was a planned development to be built on the Liverpool Pier Head, as a part of the Liverpool European Capital of Culture 2008 bid. The winning entry, named "The Cloud", was designed by the architect Will Alsop. However, it was beset with difficulties, and was cancelled in 2004 due to spiralling costs.

The project name is due to the development being located adjacent to the three historic buildings at the Pier Head site, which since 2001/2002 have been known as "the Three Graces".These are the Port of Liverpool Building, the Cunard Building and the Royal Liver Building.
