Crumlin Road Courthouse To Be Transformed Into Hotel
The Crumlin Road Courthouse is to be transformed into a hotel.
Signature Living Group acquired the courthouse which will be the first of five new hotels the developer will deliver over the next three years.
The firm is to invest £25million to restore the building.
Signature chairman Lawrence Kenwright said: "The courthouse is currently in a state of disrepair and our focus will be on sympathetically restoring the building to its former glory in a way that is both true to its architectural heritage and aligns with the exciting style for which Signature Living is reputed.
"We see ourselves simply as custodians of these important buildings and the courthouse will very much still belong to the people of Belfast. "For us, this is an investment in the local Belfast community and, as well committing around £25 million to the restoration project, we will be investing in a series of community initiatives - including the launch of a special apprenticeship academy - in the coming months."
