Description
The Housing Executive is seeking to appoint a developer to deliver its vision for a residential-led, regeneration scheme on this two-acre site at Hope Street, Belfast.
Hope Street is a strategically important city centre development site in an area that is benefitting from significant long term investment with the completion of the new Belfast Grand Central Station, and the commencement of the Weavers Cross mixed-use regeneration scheme on surrounding land (About Weavers Cross).
The development opportunity at Hope Street is fundamentally aligned with 'The Belfast Agenda', Belfast City Council's first Community Plan (Belfast Agenda) to promote inner city living with a renewed focus on delivering city centre accommodation and supporting a vibrant, liveable city centre. The area surrounding Hope Street currently comprises a mix of commercial, residential and leisure uses, and it is in close proximity to the city's two main hospitals and universities.
As the Strategic Housing Authority for Northern Ireland, the Housing Executive aims to provide a variety of housing choices at Hope Street that addresses the multi-tenure housing need in the area, including social homes and a mix of intermediate and private homes for sale or rent.
The transformation of Hope Street has the potential to enhance the connectivity between the local residential community of Sandy Row and the city centre economy by creating strong links through the site to surrounding areas that are animated by vibrant, safe, green open spaces and light commercial activity.
