There is more empty space in the city center than on Queens island so why is this not being developed! this development is proposing that belfast conforms to a stereotypical image of a western or european city with a high rise waterfront, all lit up at night like new york or chicago...
Im an Architecture student in Belfast and this is the biggest load of shite that could ever have been proposed for this part of the city! A expensive upper class high rise complex with no character or relation to the urban fabric or architectural heritage of the city that turns its back on the forgotten people of east Belfast! The homes of the ship workers that lost their jobs when ship yard closed! This is an insult to the people of belfast and the integrity of the city.
@boylenova you're stupid it was a dump and now it ill be a place where northern Ireland can get lot's more tourism with these new buildings like Victoria square,Obel Building and im glad they're cleaning up belfasts image from the stinkbomb smell of the river lagan 20 years ago and a dump to a futuristic modern bright place like alot of east asian countries
I gravitate towards classical architure. Mondern monstrosities have a tendency to look really dated in ten years unless they have a certain sparkle. However, this will produce alot of jobs for that community. Hopefully the GREEDY developers and the government do not steal (eminent domain) the properties from the rightful owners. Sadly, government racketeering happens all too often.
@nriab23 , Yes this is true. But I guess what I was trying to say is that I prefer antiquity than to tear down and be a part of the wasteful consumerism that plagues our world. I don't like modern stuff that looks like knives poppint out of the earth. Sorry, they just don't have any soul to me.
thanks for your response! you wouldnt happen to know if their building a new "titanic" would you? i heard stuff about it a while back, but idk..you seem to more about this topic then me!
that was most likely either Olympic or Britannic being launched at the beginning

i think you should leave the titanic at sea where it sank bc so the people on the other cruise could see where it sank
