Titanic Quarter: Key Developments

An organisation called Titanic Quarter Limited (TQL) is managing the development of the Titanic Quarter site which covers 185 acres - twice the size of London's Canary Wharf.

The £7 billion development of the area will transform the former shipyard lands into a mixed use maritime quarter and is expected to create 25,000 new jobs over the next 20 years. It will include a range of investment opportunities from residential apartments and offices to educational facilities and hotels.

Master plan

A master plan for the Titanic Quarter is divided into five distinct phases.

Phase one

Phase One is 1 million square feet of mixed-use development beside the Odyssey Arena and Pavilion. It includes:

• 'the Arc' residential complex
• Gateway Offices - opened in opened in 2009 and occupied by Citi, a leading global financial services company, is the main tenant
• Belfast Metropolitan College - a new third level education campus will help drive demand for new investment with approximately 1,600 full-time and 16,000 part-time students
• Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI) - opened on 30 March 2011 and is expected to attract 50,000 visitors per year.
• Premier Inn Hotel - opened in November 2010 and includes 120 bedrooms and an on-site restaurant.

Phase two

Phase two is 3.3 million square feet of high mixed-use development offering residential, commercial, retail and leisure facilities.

At the heart of this phase will be:

• Titanic Belfast
• the former Harland and Wolff headquarters building
• the RMS Titanic and RMS Olympic slipways.

Phases three, four and five

In the longer term, there are plans for three further phases although these are at a conceptual design stage.
