Public Consultation To Open Over Plans To Regenerate Belfast
A public consultation is to open on plans for a regeneration project in Belfast City Centre worth almost £400million.
The redeveloped area will include a mix of retail, leisure, residential, community and office space.
As soon as the development is complete it could create around 3,500 jobs in the area.
A spokesperson from Castlebrooke Investments said: "We intend to implement the scheme in a way that protects the important heritage of the area by starting with the refurbishment of Garfield Street and the Northern Bank on Waring Street.
"With Ulster University's new campus under construction, building under way on several new student housing schemes, Belfast City Council bringing forward plans for a new 'cultural hub' and work set to commence on the third phase of the Department for Communities Streets Ahead Programme, there is already substantial investment taking place to enhance the city centre. We believe our scheme will be an important part of this vibrant new vision for Belfast."
The public consultations events will take place at The Mac in Belfast on 14 February, 27 February and 28 February.
