Department for Infrastructure explores regeneration of North Belfast cottages
What happened
The Department for Infrastructure is currently exploring options for the future regeneration of former prison warden cottages at Crumlin Road Gaol in Belfast, as the buildings approach their 100th anniversary in 2027. The cottages, which were built in 1927, were previously offered for commercial use but have remained empty. A new expression of interest exercise is scheduled to launch next spring, with the goal of bringing the site to the open market.
