‘City Quays’ office-led scheme amongst ongoing Port and Harbour Estate projects

Article posted: 26 Apr 2011

Belfast Harbour has published its new Corporate Plan for 2011-2013, detailing plans to invest heavily in capital projects related to the Port and Harbour Estate, including the ongoing £250m development project to regenerate Belfast’s historic maritime district.

The 20-acre ‘City Quays’ scheme, with Clarendon Dock at its heart, has been designed to link the 185-acre Titanic Quarter development to the city centre. The mixed-use development which is part of the ongoing regeneration of the city’s waterfront, will be 68% commercial office space in north east Belfast, with 14% allocated to leisure/hotel use, 6% for retail and 12% residential.

Investment in a new logistics terminal, Port maintenance schemes and ongoing regeneration projects are detailed in the three year plan which acknowledges that continuing economic uncertainty means that tonnages through the Port are only likely to increase incrementally for the foreseeable future, but that significant opportunities exist in sectors such as renewable energy.

Commenting on the plans, Roy Adair, Belfast Harbour’s CEO, said: “Our vision is to be a world class port offering best-in-class marine and estate facilities, developments which in turn will support and stimulate economic activity throughout Northern Ireland. Investing £92m directly into the local economy will be a significant boost in itself, particularly for the construction sector.”
