Sustainability

Weavers Cross envisions sustainability credentials that are unrivalled in Belfast.

In Weavers Cross sustainability is integrated from the ground up – through intelligent building design, through energy conservation and material use and even through consideration of footfall and traffic.

Furthermore, all buildings within the project will be fully electric, and will therefore benefit from 100% renewable energy tariffs.

In essence, therefore, sustainability inspires every aspect of this transformational development opportunity.
