Lisburn Targets Multi-Million Pound Scheme
Hundreds of jobs are likely in Co Antrim as the City of Lisburn revealed major building plans for apartments, offices, restaurants and a hotel in the city centre last week.
Architects Colin Gibson and Peter Minnis from Todd Architects and developers Killultagh Properties attended a meeting of Lisburn City Council's Planning Committee to unveil the scheme which could see 40,000 sq ft of office space, 80 apartments, 300 car parking spaces and a 150 bedroom four star hotel right in the heart of the city centre at Laganbank Road.
The Lisburn Star reported that the developers also plan to open up the River Lagan Corridor and include public realm space in the development.
Mr Minnis explained that the project was in the pre-appliction design phase, which was nearing completion, and they hope to submit a planning application in the coming months.
He also confirmed there were already two hotel operators expressing serious interest in running the hotel on the site and revealed the apartments would be the first tower block in the city centre, standing 15 storeys high.
