This site, owned and managed by Belfast City Council, is now established as one of the most vibrant and desirable economic hubs within Belfast, attracting both national and international companies.

A well established landmark on the site is the Halifax Direct Internet Banking building, a national call centre employing just under 2000 people. Elsewhere on the site, the 132 bedroom Radisson SAS Hotel opened in September 2004 and there are many other prestigious residents within the site.

The emphasis for the Gasworks was not simply on commercial lettings since it is also home to a social housing scheme which includes sheltered accommodation for the Chinese community.

One of the principal features of the Gasworks is the great integrity shown in successfully combining new builds with the existing built heritage, this is exemplified by the restored Clock Tower. This, no doubt was a key factor in successfully establishing a sense of place and an identity for the Gasworks.
