UK: Developer Castlebrooke has confirmed plans for a 15-storey coliving tower in Belfast’s Cathedral Quarter.
The proposals feature up to 150 self-contained units with shared lounges, workspaces and social areas.
The site was previously the subject of a bid by Lacuna and Watkin Jones for a 19 storey build-to-rent apartment tower featuring 105 units.
Castlebrooke acquired the site in late 2019, securing permission for an amended application for 105 units across 16 storeys in late 2021.
Castlebrooke’s design team has announced a public event in The Mac on August 26th (3pm to 7pm) to present its coliving proposals for Academy Street, a new planning application has been lodged this week by TSA Planning seeking to scrub one of the conditions previously imposed for the build-to-rent tower.
Gerry Hughes who leads the design team, said: “We’re pleased to have the opportunity to run an additional event focused on Academy Street as part of our consultation process. Coliving is a relatively new concept for Belfast so we feel it’s important to give people the chance to find out more about this key element of the wider scheme.”
