Queens Quay

Department for Communities, in conjunction with Tetra Tech Consulting (NI) Ltd and Hamilton Architects Ltd are currently in the process of developing plans for the redevelopment of lands at Queens Quay and Middlepath Street, Belfast.

Queen’s Quay is a prominent, but underutilised, portion of lands located on the eastern bank of the River Lagan. The site is bisected by the A2 Middlepath Street, providing a northern portion which can be accessed by the Lagan Weir footbridge, and a southern portion, which is currently utilised as a surface level public car park.  Queen’s Bridge and Bridge End are located to the south of the site, with Station Street and Station Street flyover located to, and defining, the eastern boundaries.  The Lagan Bridge/M3 flyover is located to the immediate north of the site with the River Lagan to the west. 

In 2013, the site was subject of a DfC Masterplan entitled ‘Queen’s Quay Belfast Masterplan’.  It identified that these Queen’s Quay lands form a crucial nodal point in regeneration terms, as they provide a key connection between Belfast City Centre and developments on the eastern side of the River Lagan, including the SSE Arena, and Titanic Quarter, and proposed redevelopment scheme(s) at Sirocco Quay.  The Lagan Weir footbridge provides connection towards Belfast Quays. 

The site provides a strategic gateway location in the heart of Belfast and is near several key adjacent developments and development sites.

DfC also own land to the east comprising of the existing car park at Middlepath Street which is to form part of the future redevelopment proposals.
