Translink launches search for Master Developer Partner to deliver its £400 million Weavers Cross scheme in Belfast | Invest in Northern Ireland

23/08/2021 belfast

Translink, Northern Ireland’s public transport provider, has launched a global procurement process to identify a master developer partner for its exciting £400 million Weavers Cross development set to transform Belfast city centre’s social, economic and environmental fabric.

At its heart will be the new 160,000 sq.ft. GEA Belfast Transport Hub, the largest integrated transport hub on the island of Ireland due to open in 2024. With an expected annual footfall of over 20million this important NI Executive funded flagship project will bring a host of benefits for urban regeneration acting as a key driver of economic growth and prosperity for Belfast and Northern Ireland.

Combined with its advantageous location, just five minutes’ walk from the city centre, it has direct links to international airports and rail and bus links to Dublin offering dual access to both UK and European markets. This unique opportunity is a key draw for any potential investor.

The Weavers Cross proposal stretches to 1.3 million square feet of mixed-use office, residential, hotel and retail/leisure space, presenting a chance to transform and regenerate a current brownfield site and create a new destination in the heart of the city.

Translink is seeking a private sector partner with the financial means and relevant experience, skills and resources to realise the vision for Weavers Cross. The partner should also be able to demonstrate a long-term partnership approach, place making, creativity and a detailed understanding of how best to deliver Weavers Cross, while exhibiting strong social value credentials to deliver tangible and lasting positive social, economic and environmental impact.

When completed, it is estimated Weavers Cross will stimulate additional spending in the Northern Ireland economy of more than £1 billion.

Chris Conway, Group Chief Executive, Translink, said: “Weavers Cross is one of the most exciting prospects to come to the market for some time. The unique site will be a catalyst, to positively reimagine this area creating an impressive gateway for the city. By establishing a new, high quality mixed use development, providing modern economic infrastructure, it will afford opportunities for businesses to invest and grow.

“We are leading a transport transformation in NI and want a partner who will share our strong environmental and sustainability goals, joining us on our race to zero by 2040 as part of our strategy to be climate positive by 2050. Working in partnership we aim to accelerate our action on the climate crisis and create a cleaner and healthier environment for all.

“These benefits, coupled with the enhanced connectivity created by the hub should attract new occupiers over other locations in the city making it an exceptional development opportunity with all the ingredients for success.”
