In February 2009, Fenton Partnership submitted a planning application (Z/2009/0216/F) proposing the demolition of existing buildings and construction of a 4 storey commercial building with rear access for fire escape, 1 no. retail unit on the ground floor and 3 no. office units above. This application was withdrawn in January 2010.
In May 2010, Fenton Partnerships submitted a revised planning application (Z/2010/0691/F) proposing the demolition of existing buildings and construction of 6 storey retail and office use building with rear access for fire escape, deliveries and disabled parking. This application was approved in November 2015.
In January 2021, Communities Minister Deirdre Hargey announced that CSI1818 Limited had been appointed to redevelop a derelict site at Castle Street in Belfast City centre. The derelict site at Castle Street and Marquis Street in Belfast was acquired by the Department for Communities in 2018 for the purposes of redevelopment.
The Department for Communities ran a competition for developers to put forward their proposals for the site, which resulted in CSI1818 Limited being selected. CSI1818 Limited has also acquired adjacent sites for development alongside the Department’s site and their combined redevelopment programme will lead to construction of retail space and residential accommodation. The combined site currently consists of derelict sites & small retail businesses.

Imperial Buildings
Updated a year ago
Imperial Buildings is a four storey, with attic, commercial and office building located at 70-74 High Street. Imperial Buildings was designed by W.J. Gilliland and constructed 1906-7. The building enters valuation records in 1908 as two shops, valued at £83 and £110 and 33 offices on the first to fourth floors with valuations from £3.10s to £29. It was reerected from the second floor up, with some details missing, after it was damaged during a Luftwaffe raid in 1941. The building has provided accommodation for a number of companies and organisations including Farrow’s Bank Ltd, the Ulster Teachers’ Union and local offices for the Daily Mail and other newspapers (Street Directories). Since the 1970s the ground floor shops have been occupied by a sports goods retailer (Jackson Sports).

Updated 7 months ago
The Mayfair Buildings, a Grade B1 listed building, occupy a prominent position at the junction of Arthur Square and William Street South, in the heart of Belfast’s primary commercial and retail core. Arthur Square forms part of a highly pedestrianised network connecting Donegall Place, Cornmarket, Castle Lane and the wider Linen and Cathedral Quarters. The surrounding area is characterised by high footfall, a dense mix of retail units, cafés, restaurants, cultural venues and civic buildings.
