Regeneration
Following active engagement with the private sector and investment market through an Expressions of Interest exercise, we are now seeking a long-term private sector partner (PSP) to act as a master developer to deliver residential-led, mixed-use developments in support of our city’s growth targets.
Belfast is fast becoming one of the most attractive cities in the UK and Ireland to live, work, study and invest in, with bold ambitions to become home to an additional 66,000 residents and increase the number of homes in the city by 31,600 by 2035.
The development of over 2 million ft² city centre office space since 2015 has created a vibrant and liveable city centre ecosystem with global occupiers making Belfast their city of choice.

This is an exciting time in Belfast for residential development – and a huge opportunity to increase our city residential population.
We have begun the search for a suitably experienced long-term partner to help deliver £630 million pounds worth of multi-site, residential-led, mixed-use developments across the city.
