Work began in Spring 2004 with the excavation of Chavasse Park, and construction began in Autumn the same year.<ref>{{cite web |title=Duke of Westminster Gets Paradise Project Construction Under Way |publisher=[[Grosvenor Group]] |date=November 2004 |url=http://www.liverpoolpsda.co.uk/Press/PressReleases/11-2004/new.htm |access-date=2009-06-15}}</ref> Early works incorporated [[Archaeology|archaeological]] investigations, as [[Chavasse Park]] covered the ruins of buildings destroyed in World War II bombing, and the Canning Place car park was on the site of the [[Old Dock]], the world's first [[Dock (maritime)|wet dock]].<ref>{{cite web |title=A Step Back in Time |publisher=[[Grosvenor Group]] |date=August 2004 |url=http://www.liverpoolpsda.co.uk/NR/exeres/93FDD912-D366-469E-9077-BA81495E6C12.htm |access-date=2009-06-16}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=History of Old Dock |publisher=[[National Museums Liverpool]] |url=http://www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/nof/docks/access/dock_history7.html |access-date=2009-06-16 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080324050020/http://www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/nof/docks/access/dock_history7.html |archive-date=24 March 2008 }}</ref>

The first parts of the development to be completed were the [[multi-storey car park]] on Liver Street,<ref>{{cite web |title=Q-Park's first Liverpool ONE car park |website=Liverpoolpsda.co.uk |date=November 2005 |url=http://www.liverpoolpsda.co.uk/Press/PressReleases/11-2005/qpark.htm |access-date=2009-06-21}}</ref> and the [[bus station]] on Canning Place.<ref>{{cite web |title=New bus station opens on Sunday |website=Liverpoolpsda.co.uk |date=November 2005 |url=http://www.liverpoolpsda.co.uk/Press/PressCuttings/11-2005/bus.htm |access-date=2009-06-21}}</ref>

Both opened in November 2005, allowing the old bus station and car park on Paradise Street to be demolished in January 2006.<ref>{{cite web |title=NCP CAR PARK 'BLOWN DOWN' IN LATEST PARADISE PROJECT MILESTONE |website=Liverpoolpsda.co.uk|date= January 2006|url=http://www.liverpoolpsda.co.uk/Press/PressReleases/01-2006/ncp.htm |access-date=2009-06-21}}</ref>

This cleared the way for construction of the new buildings on the west side of Paradise Street, as the Moat House Hotel had already been demolished in May 2005.<ref>{{cite web |title=PARADISE PROJECT ACHIEVES MAJOR MILESTONE WITH DEMOLITION OF MOAT HOUSE|website=Liverpoolpsda.co.uk|date= May 2005|url=http://www.liverpoolpsda.co.uk/Press/PressReleases/05-2005/newpage.htm|access-date=2009-06-21}}</ref>

In July 2006, Herbert's Hairdressers became the first business to move into new premises in the development,<ref>{{cite web |title=Herbert hair salon first to open at new shops centre|publisher=icliverpool.co.uk |date= July 2006|url=http://www.liverpoolpsda.co.uk/Press/PressReleases/05-2005/newpage.htm|access-date=2009-06-21}}</ref> in his uniquely styled "[[Bling Bling]] Building" on Hanover Street. At the same time, BBC Radio Merseyside moved into new premises also on Hanover Street, allowing the demolition of the remaining buildings on Paradise Street.<ref>{{cite web |title=BBC Radio Merseyside celebrates 40 years of broadcasting |publisher=[[BBC]] |date=21 November 2007 |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/liverpool/content/articles/2006/07/21/radiomerseyside_history_feature.shtml |access-date=2009-06-22}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Paradise Street demolition |publisher=[[BBC]] |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/liverpool/content/image_galleries/radiom_demolition_aug2006_gallery.shtml |access-date=2009-06-22}}</ref> In August 2006, the traditional [[Topping out]] ceremony was held on what would become the top floor of the John Lewis store on the corner of Paradise Street and Canning Place.<ref>{{cite web |title=We're on top of the world |website=Liverpoolpsda.co.uk |date=August 2006 |url=http://www.liverpoolpsda.co.uk/Press/PressCuttings/08-2006/top+out.htm |access-date=2009-06-22}}</ref>

In March 2007, following the completion of the main underground car park, works on re-instating Chavasse Park started, using [[polystyrene]] blocks to build up the height of the park.<ref>{{cite web |last=Khaleeli |first=Homa |title=Water park will be 'oasis of calm' in Paradise site |publisher=Liverpool Echo |date=March 2007 |url=http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/liverpool-news/local-news//tm_headline=water-park-will-be---8216-oasis-of-calm--8217--in-paradise-site&method=full&objectid=18748491&siteid=50061-name_page.html |access-date=2009-06-22}}</ref>
