About City Link Business Park
City Link Business Park is presently developed with commercial offices, training centres, legal and support services, and community organisation spaces. It includes basement and surface parking linked via Durham Street and Albert Street. There's currently no residential use on-site. Major tenants include Connswater Homes, EM Gray & Co., and various small businesses.
City Link Business Park was developed in the early 2000s as a low-rise, high-accessibility office campus, leveraging its proximity to central transport hubs and the motorway network. It has functioned as a workspace cluster, notable for being adjacent to Grand Central Station and serving Belfast’s mixed commercial and professional community.
In May 2025, S Draffin submitted a Proposal of Application Notice (PAN) (LA04/2025/0818/PAN) proposing a two-part residential-led development comprising:
Build-to-rent (BTR) apartment block
~146 purpose-built rental apartments
Car parking, open space, and ancillary facilities
Two social/affordable housing blocks
~99 apartments in total
Supporting car parking, landscaped open spaces, and shared amenities

7 Chlorine Gardens
Updated 2 years ago
7 Chlorine Gardens is a detached, 2.5-story imperial brick building constructed around 1900. It features two bays—one canted and one square—and a 2.5-story gable-ended rear extension. A detached garage, built with metric red facing brick and concrete roof tiles that do not match the original building, is located along the boundary with No. 5 Chlorine Gardens. The property had been vacant for a considerable period and has experienced neglect and structural damage. This includes damage caused by the removal of lead roof flashings, vandalism leading to rotted timber roof and floor members, and significant fire damage to the garage.
