Redeveloper appointed for £5m Shankill Mill site
The Department for Social Development has announced the preferred developer to transform the former Lawnbrook Mill site off Belfast's Shankill Road.
The Brownfield site will be redeveloped by ADH (NI) to provide much needed private homes, which is a welcome development for the local community.
Social Development Minister David Hanson MP said: "This is a good example of how the release of derelict land and property can help regenerate disadvantaged areas. My Department, through its Belfast Regeneration Office, has been able to assemble and market this major site and has now attracted exciting development proposals. The need to restore confidence in and reinvigorate areas such as the Shankill is one of the key messages that I have been hearing in my current round of engagements in Protestant areas.
"This site will be developed to provide 64 homes and this significant investment will transform the local environment and strengthen the sense of community in the Shankill by encouraging people to stay and attracting others into the area."
In support of Government's Neighbourhood Renewal Strategy, Belfast Regeneration Office is committed to continue to use its physical development powers to help unlock further development opportunities and to tackle physical dereliction in Belfast, with the aim of improving the quality of life of people who live and work there.
