Belfast City Council and McAleer & Rushe are planning to transform the former Belfast Telegraph site, renamed “The Sixth” into a visionary new development that will provide state-of-the-art workspace in a rapidly changing location within the City Centre.
The vision for The Sixth will bring significant benefits to the locality and the city, creating a contemporary public atrium through the site and new retail and restaurant opportunities. The proposed scheme which is immediately adjacent to the new £250m Ulster University campus will mark the pinnacle of flexible and innovative workspace design. Leading UK Architect, AHMM have been appointed to design c.230,000 sq.ft of supremely connected workspace that has the flexibility to accommodate global headquarters with floorplates of up to 30,000 sq.ft. The development would work equally well for smaller companies in the professional and burgeoning creative and technology sectors that require the ability to expand.
Belfast City Council and established local developer McAleer & Rushe have formed a Joint Venture Partnership to acquire the former Belfast Telegraph building and develop the site in an area of the City which is already undergoing major transformation.
McAleer & Rushe are a local property development and construction company that have completed large scale commercial projects throughout UK and Ireland, including over 2 million sq.ft of office developments, 20,000 hotel bedrooms, 5,000 student beds, and over 10,000 residential units. Completed projects in Belfast include; Holiday Inn, Invest NI Headquarters, Ulster Bank HQ, Millennium House, Great Northern Tower.
The pre-application consultation period has now come to a close. Feedback has been summarised in a Pre-Application Community Consultation Report which has been submitted as part of the planning application.
