Belfast Stories is a unique visitor destination of unprecedented scale and ambition in the heart of Belfast city centre, that will catalyse economic, social, and cultural regeneration in the city and wider region.
The council hopes to realise a high quality landmark building, which will attract international and local visitors, as well as providing a home for the Belfast Stories experience, by 2028.
The 5,000 m² site is located on a city centre block to the north of the Royal Avenue and North Street intersection and includes the former Bank of Ireland Art Deco property. The development will accommodate the Belfast Stories visitor experience, Belfast Screen Centre, and a variety of vibrant public spaces. The project forms part of the Tourism and Regeneration Pillar of the £1bn Belfast Region City Deal (BRCD).
