New Hall Place (also known as The Capital and the Royal & SunAlliance Building) is a 13-storey brutalist style office complex in the commercial district of Liverpool, England. At 73 m (249 ft) tall it stands as the ninth tallest building in the city.[1] It was developed by insurance company Royal & SunAlliance as one of their numerous bases within the United Kingdom. The design of New Hall Place was based on the neearby iconic Royal Liver Building, it is described as a brutalist equivalent to the Royal Liver Building in terms of massing and height.[1] New Hall Place is situated on the prestigious Old Hall Street (one of Liverpool's main commercial and financial areas) and the lower three floors serve as The Capital Car Park - a 1,100 capacity secure and security guarded car park.[2] One of two Liverpool exits from the Queensway Tunnel is located directly beneath New Hall Place (the other being next to the World Museum Liverpool).
