New pictures have been released highlighting the progress being made on Everton’s new £500m stadium at the Bramley-Moore dock.
The Premier League club announced plans to build the venue back on the banks of the River Mersey in July 2021, as they prepare to move away from Goodison Park.
They started work on the stadium the following month, and one year on, it has been confirmed that the first concrete terracing unit has been installed, and the four concrete cores have been built to their full height.

The north stand has been erected and it is not far from completion, as the stadium starts to take shape
Developers have said the four concrete cores have been built to their full height one year after work started on the ground
‘Terracing units going on the steelwork represent a major visual change in the build’, director of stadium development, Colin Chong, said on Wednesday.
‘As the terracing installation progresses in a logical sequence, the structure looks more like a football stadium with every day that passes.’
The club provided an update on their new stadium back in May, informing supporters that the stairwells at the northern corners had been put in place, and those at the southern corners were ‘not far behind’.
Progress has been made since then, with images showing an aerial view of the construction work at the stunning location.
The north stand does not look far from completion, while work on the other three stands is continuing.
Everton’s financial problems have been well-documented, but they are pressing ahead with their new £500m stadium
The stadium height is due to be 47m once the roofing is finished, although this still some way off as the stadium is not due to be ready until the start of the 2024-25 season.
Everton have been based at Goodison Park since 1892, but they are now just a couple of years from moving the short distance to Bramley-Moore dock.
The club’s financial issues have been well-documented in recent times, with figures back in March revealing Everton lost £372.6m across a three-year period.
They have continued to proceed with their stadium build, though, with their new ground set to hold 53,000 fans. This is a significant increase on Goodison Park, which has a capacity just under 40,000.
