Belfast City Council has chosen construction firm GRAHAM as its long-term private sector partner to deliver a £630m housing-led regeneration programme.

John McDonald, Investment Projects Managing Director at GRAHAM, said: "GRAHAM is delighted to have been selected by Belfast City Council as its delivery partner for this housing-led regeneration partnership.
"We look forward to building a meaningful, long-term collaborative relationship with the council, and other stakeholders, to expeditiously unlock Belfast’s regeneration potential. "This partnership is a unique development vehicle that can make an important contribution to the council's strategic aspiration to deliver thousands of much-needed new homes for people of all ages and backgrounds."
Chair of Belfast City Council's Strategic Policy and Resources Committee, Councillor Ryan Murphy, added: "Securing GRAHAM as our delivery partner signals our intent and ambition to deliver quality new homes across a range of tenures.
"At the core of this partnership is a strong commitment to community and stakeholder engagement and to delivering long lasting social, economic and environment impacts for communities.
"This bold, innovative approach to bringing forward housing-led, mixed-use regeneration will help us build an inclusive city that works for everyone."
