Little Donegal Street

Belfast, Northern Ireland

The development site currently comprises a vacant brownfield site used for car parking behind Belfast Central Library at lands bounded by Library Street, Stephen Street, Little Donegall Street and Union Street. Currently, the largest scheme in Belfast to have been granted the green light is a 774-unit scheme under development by Student Roost on Nelson Street.

  • The Mandeville application also involves plans for additional use of accommodation by further or higher education institutions outside term time, communal facilities, an internal courtyard, cycle stores, active ground floor uses including cafe and retail, and associated bin stores and plant and public realm improvements to surrounding footpaths.

    It is the latest application in a raft of student accommodation projects across the city designed to serve the long-delayed new Ulster University campus, which opened to 15,000 students and staff in September.
