Belfast's city centre is currently undergoing a massive overhaul to completely transform the face of the area. It is estimated the series of projects will cost a total of £800 million pounds and will take approximately 5 years to complete.

There are a number of developments being undertaken, which were previously unrelated, but have now joined forces to minimise disruption and create one huge venture.
