Claim: North Point Global announced plans in December 2015 for a New Chinatown real estate development near the Liverpool docks, which date back to 1715, that was scheduled to be completed by 2019.
Evidence: Though the group had not completed any housing project in the UK, it announced plans in December 2015 to develop a so-called "New Chinatown" near Liverpool docks for £200m, consisting of glitzy glass buildings and sky scrapers, a hotel, a business center and 280 homes. Liverpool's first dock was the world's first enclosed commercial dock, the Old Dock, built in 1715. The first phase of the project was promised to be completed in 2017 and the entire project completed by 2019.
