About

City Quays is a mixed-use waterfront regeneration project located on former docklands at the edge of Belfast city centre. 

Three BREEAM ‘Excellent’, Grade A offices have now been completed, providing 340,000sqft of BREEAM Excellent accommodation. They are home to blue-chip occupiers such as Baker McKenzie, ITV, TP ICAP, Aflac and, most recently, Investec, B-Secur, Santander and Bauer Media, covering the legal, media, finance, IT, MedTech and insurance sectors. 

Other completed City Quays developments include a four-star, 188-bed AC by Marriott hotel, a 900-space multi-storey car park and a vibrant new ‘green’ urban garden on a 0.8-hectare site between the City Quays waterfront buildings and the historic Belfast Harbour Office, designed to ‘One Planet Living’ environmental standards, a first in Northern Ireland. 

Building on this momentum, Belfast Harbour is bringing forward further projects to make City Quays a vibrant and exciting place to live. Planning consent has been achieved for City Quays 4, City Quays 5 and the Pilot Street Affordable Housing scheme. 

Supporting the delivery of Belfast City Council’s Belfast Agenda and its goal for 3,500 new homes in this area within the next ten years, City Quays 4 is a build-to-rent scheme with 256 apartments over 24 floors with waterfront views. The Pilot Street Affordable Housing scheme will deliver 69 affordable homes and has been granted full planning approval.
