A ceremony has been held to mark the beginning of construction on a new apartment block in east Belfast.
The £3.5 million Ebrington Hall scheme from Hagan Homes will see 18 two-bed apartments built within the sought-after Ballyhackamore area.
G Force Contracts has secured a contract to deliver the project on the Newtownards Road, with 28 jobs expected to be created during the construction phase. The first residents will be welcomed to the development from May 2022.
Apartments will be priced between £185,000 and £200,000 and will benefit from the retail and hospitality scene in the area as well as the Connswater Greenway and Stormont Estate.
They will feature a number of smart applications including New Ember PS Smart Heating Control Systems, USB sockets and extensive electrical specification to include pre-wire for BT and Sky+. The development will also have provision for EV charging points for electric cars.
Internally, residents can expect a high quality contemporary kitchen complete with ceramic floor tiling and integrated white goods.
Speaking about the development, Hagan Homes' Director of Sales and Acquisitions, Jim Burke, said: "Ebrington Hall is the epitome of city living and we expect demand to be high. Ballyhackamore is a Belfast district that is very much in demand with homebuyers, whether that's first time movers or downsizers seeking a new home.
"We've focused on style when it comes to this project, with craftsmanship and modern style marrying to create a truly stunning home.
"We have also installed smart technology that allows Ebrington Hall to offer the most convenient living spaces on the market. We expect demand to be high and look forward to inviting prospective residents in January 2022 when we launch our show home."
Ebrington Hall is the fourth development for Hagan Homes in the East Belfast area. Other developments include Ballyoran Heights, Ashdene Wood and Medway Street.
