Victoria Square

Victoria Square

Completed in 2008 at a cost of £400m, Victoria Square took four years to complete and was also the largest excavation ever carried out in Northern Ireland

Officially opened with a spectacular launch party in March 2008, the major saw construction of covered streets on multi-levels connected to existing city centre streets ensuring there are no doors to the development and it remains open for the public to pass through 24 hours a day.

Social Development Minister Margaret Ritchie said: “Now we can see an example of a live, work and play area for all of the people who live here.”

The showpiece of the project is the 37-metre diameter glass dome which has become an iconic part of Belfast’s skyline.
