Laganside's development of the city's Quays is core to the revitalisation of the riverfront, and will link the city centre with the east bank of the river, home to the Odyssey Complex and Titanic Quarter.
The development of individual Quays, linked by distinctive boulevards that follow the banks of the river, has always been a pivotal part of the Laganside Masterplan to encourage people back to the river and make the river a ‘people-place’ and a visitor destination.
Donegall Quay exemplifies this focus on riverside development. Occupying the space beside the Lagan Weir, this area was until recently derelict, but it is now to be the site of one of Northern Ireland's tallest building projects & is valued at over £50 million. The building will be called 'obel' - an obelisk set in old Belfast - will consist of a 26 residential tower, 8 storey hotel and a 7 storey office block.
Rationalisation of the existing road network will open the area up to waterfront development with plazas, public realm and riverside pathways. There will also be new offices and apartments. View MovieBack to main page >> |
