    The Beacon lit up for the Oscars

    Liverpool’s Radio City Tower, now rebranded as The Beacon, was lit up last night as a giant Oscars statue in a publicity stunt to launch the space onto an international stage. The spectacle marked the unveiling of a rare opportunity to secure 7,500sq ft of prime space at the top of the tower, offering a landmark location for a new business to make its mark above the city skyline.

    Timed to coincide with the 97th Academy Awards in Hollywood, The Beacon owners, RivingtonHark, said the lighting event celebrated Liverpool’s own star quality, placing the tower in the spotlight as a versatile cultural and entertainment destination.

    Mark Harvey at RivingtonHark, commented: “This is a once-in-a-century opportunity to reimagine a major landmark overlooking one of our greatest cities. With its central location, breathtaking views and immense potential, The Beacon has the potential to be one of the UK’s most iconic destinations.”

    The Beacon could be suitable for a range of different activities or uses that make an impactful contribution to Liverpool’s cityscape:

    • A Viewing Experience: The tower’s panoramic viewing platform would provide locals and visitors with 360-degree views 400 feet above the city, extending as far as the Wirral, North Wales, Lancashire, Snowdonia, and Blackpool.
    • An entertainment and F&B Space: 7,500 sq ft of prime real estate is now available for entertainment venues, dining concepts, or immersive experiences, elevating the tower as a hub for social and cultural activity on an international stage.
    • A promotional powerhouse: With its commanding height and visibility, The Beacon could servs as a dynamic canvas for large-scale branding and cultural celebrations, as demonstrated by last night’s spectacular Oscars tribute.

    Originally designed by James A. Roberts and completed in 1965, St Johns Beacon has been a defining feature of Liverpool’s skyline for decades. In 2020, it was granted Grade II-listed status, recognised for its “technological bravura and spirit of the space age” by Historic England.

    Located just steps from Lime Street Station, which welcomes nearly 20 million passengers annually, The Beacon is one of the first things visitors see when arriving in Liverpool.
