A £400m, transport-led regeneration scheme in central Belfast has been given the go-ahead.
Translink’s proposals for the 1.3m sq ft Weavers Cross development were approved by Belfast City Council. The scheme, for which a private sector development partner will now be sought, will include the 160,000 sq ft Belfast Grand Central Station as well as offices, homes and a hotel.
Translink chief executive Chris Conway said: “Across the world, multi-modal transport hubs like the new Belfast Grand Central Station are at the epicentre of growth and are increasingly seen as destinations for shopping, working, employment, education, living and socialising.
“As a highly sustainable mixed-use location, it has potential for regeneration, creating space for new homes and employment, with easy access to bus, rail and active travel connections across the city and beyond.”
