Planning permission given for new Market Quarter development
Planning permission has been granted for the construction of a new landmark building in Belfast’s Market Quarter.
Property developers, Teesland Ireland have been granted the permission, which will include a new four storey building on the corner of East Bridge Street and Cromac Square.
The new structure will include a number of retail units at street level while the upper levels will accommodate modern business offices. Work is expected to begin in September by contractors H&J Martin.
The new building, to be called Aberdeen Buildings, marks the second phase of a £20 million Market Quarter re-development by Teesland Ireland.
In June, a three-storey building adjacent to the historic St George’s Market was completed. Next month sees the opening of the new bar EAST on the ground floor of the building while an announcement is expected in regard to the upper levels of the site. (MB)
