Over 570 construction jobs are to be created during the development of a major new office scheme at the Movie House Cinema site in Belfast City Centre.

Subject to planning approval, 'One Bankmore Square', will be the largest single office building in Northern Ireland.

The Richland Group is proposing to develop the 255,000 square foot Grade A office scheme – complete with ground floor space for ancillary café, retail and leisure uses – at Bankmore Square on the Dublin Road. Each single floor plate will comprise of 25,000 square feet of net useable space.

One Bankmore Square's location is a three-minute walk from Belfast City Hall and the new £250 million Transport Hub for Belfast. The proposal also includes the transformation of Bankmore Square into a focal public open space with potential for an outdoor cinema and public art exhibitions, effectively re-invigorating the area and becoming a great asset to the south of the city.

Gary McCausland, CEO of Richland Group, said: "We believe that Belfast needs a 'world-class' grade A office development of this scale, a scheme that has the potential to attract and keep the biggest and most successful companies on the planet. We have assembled a brilliant home-grown professional team to deliver this exciting project with Farrans joining us as delivery partners.

"One Bankmore Square will inject tens of millions of pounds into the local economy, create thousands of jobs, rejuvenate a very important part of Belfast City centre and add incredible value to people that live and work in Belfast and indeed Northern Ireland.

"It's time to think outside the box, it's time to think big, it's time to really get on the world stage and deliver the solutions and space that blue-chip companies demand and that is exactly what we intend to do."
