About Callender House
Callender House is a four-storey office building located at 58-60 Upper Arthur Street in Belfast City Centre.

It features a modern glazed façade, with ground-floor space occupied by shops, such as Arthurs and The Belfast Barbering Co, and upper floors dedicated to commercial office use.
Architecture: Callender House has a contemporary glazed façade, characteristic of modern office buildings.
Commercial Units: The ground floor includes two retail units currently occupied by 'Arthurs' and 'The Belfast Barbering Co.'
