Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced that they will be opening a new office in the Liverpool ECHO’s former home on Old Hall Street.

Sony’s PlayStation division has been based at Wavertree Technology Park for almost 27 years and will now relocate to occupy 65,000 sq ft of space within the city centre location.

When the Echo moved last year, it took up residence in a brand-new location at St Paul’s Square across from Liverpool’s commercial district.

SIE has signed a deal to lease three floors of office space inside the former ECHO building – which is now called Echo Place.

The company which employs about 500 people in the area, sees the office space include a café, staff gym and an “expansive” rooftop terrace.

He added: “It’s been a long, challenging yet rewarding journey since we decided to move from our current home of 27 years in 2018. It’s been a real honour to have played a part in it and I can’t wait for us to finally open the doors to the team!”
