The Lanyon View development site, encompassing approximately one acre, is strategically located at 3-9 Dalton Street in Belfast. Bounded by Dalton Street, Middlepath Street, and Bridge End, it offers proximity to Belfast City Centre and the SSE Arena, with convenient access to the M3 motorway via the nearby Lagan Bridge.

Site Context and Current Use

Currently, the site is cleared and vacant, awaiting development. Its prominent position near major transport links and the River Lagan positions it as a potential landmark on Belfast's eastern approach.
