Plans have been submitted to deliver what would be the first major multi-use health facility in inner-city Belfast.
Developer OCMC has submitted plans for Healthworks, a 23,195 sq ft grade-A health hub on Great Victoria Street.
The scheme has been designed to meet the requirements of a range of occupiers, said the developer, including GPs, occupational health specialists and pharmacy services.
It added that the location had been strategically selected to serve both the increasing inner-city population from Weavers Court and other inner-city living developments, as well as the corridor between Queen’s University Belfast and Ulster University that is opening up in the city.
OCMC director Peter Keeling said: “Our vision for Healthworks is a bold one, designed to meet the dynamic needs of a modern urban living and working population in a single location at an affordable cost. While the suburbs of Belfast are generally well served with neighbourhood healthcare, the inner city is not.
“We wanted to meet this new opportunity with a forward-thinking project, and we are in late-stage negotiations with our first health practice to occupy the space.”
Healthworks is OCMC’s second major investment in the healthcare field following its acquisition of the Dataworks building within the King’s Hall Life Sciences Park, which is currently occupied by SpaMedica and Diaceutics.
CBRE has been appointed letting agent on the scheme.
