Plans Submitted For Largest Single Office Building In NI

A planning application has been submitted for the largest single office building in Northern Ireland.

The Richland Group has put forward plans for One Bankmore Square at the Movie House cinema site on Dublin Road in Belfast city centre.

If the development is given the green light, it would provide Grade A office space for 3,000 workers and create over 57 construction jobs.

Chief Executive Gary McCausland said: "One Bankmore Square will inject tens of millions of pounds into the local economy, create thousands of jobs, rejuvenate a very important part of Belfast City centre and add incredible value to people that live and work in Belfast and indeed Northern Ireland.

"It's time to think outside the box, it's time to think big, it's time to really get on the world stage and deliver the solutions and space that blue-chip companies demand and that is exactly what we intend to do."
