Titanic Quarter

Titanic Quarter is one of Europe's largest waterfront regeneration developments and is the single largest regeneration scheme in Northern Ireland's history.

Around 185 acres of former shipyard lands, on the fringe of Belfast city centre, are being transformed into a new mixed use maritime quarter with a mile of water frontage and a range of investment opportunities.

About Titanic Quarter

The Titanic Quarter development is bringing new life to a part of the city that is rich in both history and potential and will create significant employment and tourism income for Belfast.

The £7bn development is expected to create 20,000 new jobs over the next 20 years.

The site is centred upon former shipbuilding land from which vessels such as the RMS Titanic, Olympic and SS Canberra were launched - some of most innovative and complex engineering projects ever undertaken.

The Titanic Quarter development is co-promoted by Belfast Harbour and Titanic Quarter Limited.

There are three main elements of this project:

• Titanic Belfast - a world-class visitor attraction based on the theme of Titanic and Belfast shipbuilding and maritime history.

• Titanic Signature Project - the wider scheme in which Titanic Belfast sits, including development of surrounding Titanic-related landmarks

• Titanic Quarter development - the long term regeneration of the overall area which will cost £7 billion and take place over a period of around 20 years.

The future of the Harland and Wolff Headquarters and Drawing Offices

The excitement surrounding the opening of Titanic Belfast highlights the potential for similar development projects for other maritime assets, buildings and public spaces in Titanic Quarter.

At the heart of this potential are the Harland and Wolff Headquarters and Drawing Offices.

Before any redevelopment work can take place there needs to be further thinking and agreement on potential uses for the building.

Given the significant heritage value we are keen to engage with communities and stakeholders in thinking through how the Harland and Wolff Headquarters and Drawing Offices could be used and developed in the future.

We are particularly interested in your thoughts on:

• the key issues that need to be taken into account when considering future uses
• ideas or options for future use.

Please send your views to us by emailing titanic@belfastcity.gov.uk

Responses will be considered as part of a wider engagement exercise that is being carried out by Deloitte on behalf of the Strategic Investment Board (SIB) and the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment (DETI).
