£28.1m Housing Scheme Opens In West Belfast
Social Development Minister Nelson McCausland has opened a new £28.1m social housing scheme in West Belfast.
The development, consisting of 165 units, has been built on the former Bass Brewery site and will be known as Caffrey Hill.
The new homes have been provided by Clanmil Housing Association and have been part funded by the Northern Ireland Executive.
Minister McCausland said: "The provision of 165 new family homes on a site that has lain unused is a wonderful achievement. This continues to be an area of high housing need and these houses and apartments will make a huge difference to the daily lives of all who live here.
"The delivery of decent, affordable, sustainable housing is a key priority for my Department and these new homes provide that. I was also pleased to hear that Clanmil involved local school children and members of the local community in identifying a name for the new development and welcome that community involvement.
"Clanmil is to be congratulated for identifying the potential of this site and building these new homes on a site which has a long history. I would like to wish all the tenants well in their new homes."
In addition to the homes, the development also includes 10,000 square feet of retail and 2,000 square feet of office accommodation and a playground. All homes will be built to Lifetime Homes and Secured by Design standards and Level 4 of the Code for Sustainable Homes.
