About Transcendental Meditation Centre
The TM (Transcendental Meditation) Centre is located on Townsend Street, a thoroughfare in Belfast that features a mix of residential and commercial properties. 56-58 Townsend Street was previously an urban brownfield site, which was covered by hard surfaces used for parking in the early 2000s. Prior to this the site was an end-terrace dwelling, and had been from the 19th century, prior to which the site was undeveloped.
Future Proposals
In March 2022, Global Country of World Peace NI, a non-profit organisation that teaches Transcendental Meditation, submitted a planning application (LA04/2022/1029/F) proposing the development of a three storey building consisting of a Transcendental Meditation (TM) centre on the ground floor with 4no. residential units above on 1st and 2nd floors, external amenity space, bin storage and bicycle shelter. This application was approved in January 2023.
In late 2023, construction commenced on site. It is expected that the development will be completed in September 2025.
