Translink has selected developer MRP as its Private Sector Partner for Belfast’s transformational Weavers Cross development.
As the appointed master-development partner, MRP will deliver the Weavers Cross development with the potential for 1.3 million square feet of mixed-use office, life sciences, residential, student housing, hotels and retail/leisure space, presenting a unique opportunity to transform and regenerate a current brownfield site and create a new destination in the heart of the city.
MRP – one of the UK and Ireland’s leading property development and investment firms specialising in multi-sector, mixed use schemes – is the developer behind The Ewart, the new £85m iconic office building in Belfast’s Bedford Street. The developer has a strong pipeline of projects in key cities across the UK, including City Square House, a 140,000 sq ft landmark office soon to complete in Leeds city centre, and most recently acquired the prime London regeneration site, Liberty House in Kensington Olympia. It has a successful track record with over 50 years of experience in delivering sustainable, high quality city centre development and regeneration projects, many of which are high-profile schemes across both the public and private sectors.
The development sits alongside the new Belfast Grand Central Station– a NI Executive flagship Project – which is the key catalyst for Weavers Cross, a transport led regeneration project located in the heart of the city. With construction of the station well underway, Belfast Grand Central Station is set to be the island of Ireland’s largest integrated, sustainable transport hub with direct bus, coach, and train links throughout Northern Ireland, connections to all major international airports and to Dublin, and is due to open in 2025.
