A £1.75 million social housing development has officially opened in Coleraine.

The site at Lisnablagh Road in Harpurs Hill was supported by NI Executive, through the Department for Communities through a Housing Executive Housing Association £925,000 grant. The remaining funding was provided through private finance secured by Triangle Housing Association.

The scheme was designed by RPP Architects and construction work was carried out by contractor MJ McBride Construction.
