The scheme also involves a new train station and a new footbridge across the river, providing a new link between the divided communities. "We want the scheme to help re-integrate the city both physically and socially," said the chairman and founder of McCormick Properties, Gerry McCormick. "This scheme will pump major investment right into the city centre - £250 million into each riverbank."
The project is partly modelled on the successful Laganside regeneration scheme in Belfast, where £100 million ($157 million) of public investment attracting over five times that amount in private funds to create 600,000 sf of offices; 100,000 sf of retail and leisure space and 425 housing units.
A planning application for Phase 1 of the development is expected to be submitted early in 2003.
