TRANSCRIPT
In the past decade much has been achieved - Titanic Quarter has gone from a master plan to reality as a thriving and bustling destination. £358million has already been invested. Some 15,000 people live, work and study in Titanic Quarter which is now attracting over 1 million visitors every year. It is home to major TV and film productions, leading edge R&D, the world’s largest Titanic visitor attraction and one of Belfast’s most desirable residential waterfront developments.
Fostering Titanic Quarter’s community, along with its sense of place and purpose, is as critical to its long-term success as developing some of the most sophisticated and sustainable regeneration projects in Europe.
The energy and ethos which built the Titanic over a century ago in Harland and Wolff’s world renowned shipyard is once again thriving in Titanic Quarter – one of Europe’s largest waterfront regeneration schemes.
Investing in a new location is so much more than a decision to simply invest in a bespoke property. The best businesses attract the best people – people who want a lifestyle which matches the quality of their professional experience.
Belfast and Northern Ireland don’t disappoint. Lonely Planet, National Geographic and Fodors have all named Belfast as one of the world’s must-see destinations.
The city’s Titanic heritage, top-class restaurants, hotels and shopping – not to mention stunning mountains and coastline just a short drive away – are all part of the appeal.
Titanic Quarter itself will be home to a range of leisure activities. It’s also a short walk from both of Northern Ireland’s leading entertainment venues - the Odyssey and Waterfront Hall - which regularly host the globe’s biggest acts.
Given its scale, Titanic Quarter has the ability to reflect the diversity and complexity of modern urban life in its entirety.
Including major film productions, leading-edge R&D, financial services, the World’s largest Titanic visitor attraction and Belfast’s most desirable waterfront apartment development – Titanic Quarter is an internationally acclaimed, once-in-a-generation investment opportunity.
18,000 Eighteen thousand people currently work, study and live in the area with 100 companies based in Titanic Quarter.
4.5 million sq ft 1.5 million sq ft completed and 3 million sq ft with planning approval.
185 Acres Sustainable, mixed-use, waterfront location in central Belfast.
I want the world to see just what a fantastic place Northern Ireland is - a great place for business, a great place for investment, a place with an incredibly educated and trained workforce ready to work for international businesses.David Cameron, UK Prime Minister

The Titanic Quarter is an engine of growth for the whole city and it’s fantastic to be here in the heart of it.Marie-Therese McGivern, CEO, Belfast Metropolitan College
Belfast Metropolitan College
Although Titanic Quarter’s scale is immense, innovative design and sympathetic master planning provides a personal feel. Based on a series of urban villages linked by open, green spaces and stunning public areas, Titanic Quarter has a clear sense of character.
In a few short years Titanic Quarter has developed from a master plan to reality as a thriving and bustling destination. £358million has already been invested in what has been called ‘Belfast’s 21st Century Quarter’.
Fostering Titanic Quarter’s community – along with its sense of place and purpose – is as critical to its long-term success as developing some of the most sophisticated and sustainable real estate space in Europe.
Titanic Quarter already enjoys a constant stream of life, drawn from the 1 million-plus visitors who annually experience its Titanic heritage and the 18,000 people who live, work and study in the area.

The Color Run at Titanic Quarter
Hospitality & LeisureTitanic Quarter is rapidly becoming a focal point in Belfast for fun and leisure, from the high energy T13 Urban Sports Park to a relaxing meal or coffee in one of the area’s many restaurants and cafés. There’s also a marina and the adjacent Odyssey entertainment complex with its 10,000-seater arena, top class shows, Cineplex, W5 Interactive Discovery Centre and Belfast Giants ice hockey team.
Titanic Quarter is already home to a 120-bed hotel with planning for a further four hotels, including the Titanic Hotel Belfast, an 84 bedroom boutique hotel in the former H&W HQ Building.
Titanic BelfastThe stunning £97m Titanic Belfast visitor centre is the world’s largest Titanic attraction, overlooking the very Slipways where Titanic and her sister ships were built and the Drawing Offices where they were designed. Titanic Belfast currently attracts over 600,000 visitors annually and was named Europe’s best visitor attraction for groups at the European Group Travel Awards 2015.
In addition, the area includes Titanic’s Drawing Offices and Slipways, the Thompson Dry Dock where Titanic was completed and SS Nomadic, Titanic’s tender ship.
The Titanic Slipways have already established themselves as Belfast’s most sought-after outdoor venue, having hosted a MTV concert for 16,000 people, one of the world’s largest firework and lighting events and which was the venue for the 2014 Giro d’Italia Big Start.

It’s really quite phenomenal; it’s a magnificent, dramatic building; it’s the biggest Titanic exhibition in the world.James Cameron
ResidentialTitanic Quarter’s first residential phase, the ARC Residential & Retail complex includes 474 apartments and a number of ground floor retail units ranging from 750 to 7,000 sq ft. It is one of Belfast’s most sought after locations, providing stunning views over the marina and Belfast Hills.
Over the next 15 years additional phases providing 5,000 high quality apartment homes are planned. Residents will be able to take advantage of restaurants, retail outlets, fitness clubs and leisure pursuits – set in a series of urban villages with high quality public realm space.

Gateway Offices
The success of our current operations in Belfast was an important factor behind this latest decision to create another 600 jobs. The supply of talent in Northern Ireland, particularly at graduate level, is impressive and, coupled with the support from Invest NI and Dept. of Employment & Learning, it makes this region highly attractive to a global company like Citi seeking the best location for growth.James Bardrick, Citi Country Officer, UK
Over 100 national and international organisations, including Citi, Microsoft, IBM, SAP, HBO, Belfast Metropolitan College and Queen’s University are already established in Titanic Quarter.
With planning permission already secured for almost 1 million sq ft of Grade A office accommodation, Titanic Quarter is the business destination of choice in Belfast.
The already completed Gateway Offices (130,000 sq ft), located at the entrance to Titanic Quarter, is a template for the rest of the development. Fully occupied by Citi, the Gold LEED building is one of Europe’s most sustainable and environmentally friendly, providing space for 1,300 workers.
Future plans include the 148,000 sq ft stand-alone office, Olympic House; a new 700,000 sq ft Financial Services Centre; and the North Yard development, a 140,000 sq ft mixed-use space overlooking the Titanic Slipways at the heart of Titanic Quarter.
Named by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) as a ‘21st Century City’, Titanic Quarter has developed one of the UK and Europe’s most advanced, secure and connected telecoms hubs.
Titanic Quarter is one of Europe’s first developments to deliver an Open Access Carrier Neutral Network with fibre direct to every occupant. The Network is future proofed, enhances resilience, facilitates service concurrency and encourages service innovation for the benefit of users.
Occupants also enjoy access to Project Kelvin, Europe’s fastest direct fibre optic link to North America, and other diverse links to London, Dublin, Paris and Amsterdam. Project Kelvin - named after Belfast’s pioneering Victorian scientist - is a direct trans-Atlantic cable offering capacity and latency ideally suited for data hungry operations.
The variety of fibre optic links servicing Titanic Quarter and Project Kelvin’s multiple access nodes distributed throughout Northern Ireland also ensures backhaul independence and resilience.

Titanic Studios & Media CampusWith 6 stages offering a total area of 107,000 sq ft, the Titanic Studios are one of Europe’s largest, fully functioning film studios and the basis for Titanic Quarter’s Digital Media Campus. Based in a former shipyard Paint Hall, providing 4 stages, the facility was recently extended with the addition of two ultra-modern stages (42,000 sq ft) named after William MacQuitty and Brian Hurst – two Belfast men who directed and produced movie classics such as ‘Scrooge’ (1951) and ‘A Night to Remember’ (1958).
HBO, Universal and Tom Hanks’ Playtone production companies have used the facility to shoot well known TV series such as ‘Game of Thrones’ and movies including ‘Your Highness’ and ‘City of Ember’.
Plans are well progressed for a further expansion of the media campus to include an additional 160,000 sq ft of studio space, workshops and other production facilities.
Clustered around Titanic Studios is Titanic Quarter’s Digital Media Campus, a first for the region. The campus will build upon the development’s existing ICT base and talent pool. It will also draw upon expertise available at the Studios and in related hi-tech disciplines located in the Northern Ireland Science Park.

Game of Thrones
‘Game of Thrones’ is very happy to be based in Belfast and housed in the Titanic Studios. The stages serve our production needs beautifully and we have now filled every available soundstage with our sets.Janet Graham Borba, Senior Vice President, HBO West Coast Production
Northern Ireland Science ParkNamed as one of the UK’s top five Science Parks, the 24-acre Northern Ireland Science Park (NISP) currently provides 280,000 sq ft across six facilities. Almost 2,000 knowledge workers are currently on site.
NISP is also partnered by Northern Ireland’s two universities and has a strong focus on facilitating R&D commercialisation. Queen’s University already operates two research centres in the Park specialising in advanced technology (ECIT) and cyber security (CSIT).
EducationTitanic Quarter is home to Belfast Metropolitan College’s impressive c. 225,000 sq ft Titanic Campus. Opened in 2011, the TQ campus is a state-of-the-art facility supporting 15,000 full and part-time students. The TQ campus is focused on delivering qualifications developed to equip students for employment and is the only college outside London to be endorsed by the Securities Institute as an Accredited Training Provider of the Investment Administration Qualification.
In March 2011, the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland reopened in new purpose built premises in Titanic Quarter. The bespoke facility houses records extending to 54km, includes a large public search room, a reading room that seats 78 users, wifi café, state of the art lecture theatre facilities and dedicated exhibition space.

Situated in the heart of Titanic Quarter, Olympic House will offer Grade A office accommodation fit for 21st Century occupiers. The building will have a prominent position on the Queen’s Road beside the award-winning Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI) building and the Belfast Metropolitan College.
Olympic House will incorporate two elegantly linked office blocks of six and seven storeys respectively, including a feature penthouse level.
The inherent flexibility of the design of Olympic House is further illustrated by the building’s ability to operate with dual frontages/entrances to both the Queen’s Road and Titanic Boulevard. The building is complemented by a semi-basement level car park which will provide parking for 82 cars beneath the main office space. Vehicle access to the car park is discreetly located off Titanic Boulevard.
148,000 sq ft Net area of Grade A Office Accommodation
The high quality of Olympic House will follow the standard already set by the PRONI building and Gateway Offices. The palette of quality materials to be used will include “white limestone” offset by generous amounts of floor to ceiling glazing to ensure excellent daylighting standards. The two entrances are highlighted by the use of bronze cladding. These and other key design features of the building will be living testimony to the overarching quality objectives set for the Titanic Quarter development.
Olympic House will deliver a quality, efficient and sustainable working environment.

Situated in the heart of Titanic Quarter, North Yard will offer 141,795 sq ft of Grade A office accommodation. North Yard sits in a unique location, overlooking the slipways where Titanic and the other Olympic class liners were launched and beside Titanic Belfast, the highly acclaimed world-class visitor attraction.
North Yard comprises two buildings of five and six storeys respectively. The buildings are designed to offer the flexibility to attract individual or multiple tenants on a floor by floor basis around an internal glazed atrium.
North Yard’s architectural form relates to Titanic Belfast and its height, at its lowest point, aligns with the parapet of the adjacent historic former Harland & Wolff HQ Building and Drawing Offices - soon to become a luxury boutique Titanic themed hotel.
The high quality of North Yard will follow the standard already set by the PRONI building and Gateway Offices and will deliver a quality, efficient and sustainable working environment.
