Invest NI To Support Jaramas Investments NI Ltd
Invest Northern Ireland has announced it is to support Jaramas Investments NI Ltd.
The firm has offered £983,000 to support the multi-million development of a luxury hotel and spa at Killeavy Castle Estate.
Invest NI Chief Executive Alastair Hamilton visited the historic estate at Slieve Gullion with Australian investor Mick Boyle.
He said: "This is an exciting investment in South Armagh which will provide a valuable boost to the tourism infrastructure in the region. Invest NI's support is enabling Jaramas Investments to build and restore listed buildings into an attractive destination for visitors worldwide.
"The development of Killeavy Castle, Hotel and Wellness Centre is expected to create over 80 new jobs in the Newry, Mourne & Down District Council area, in addition to the employment generated during the construction phase over the next two years.
"The economic benefits of this project also extend to the local supply chain which stands to benefit from the purchasing of consumables once the hotel and spa is operational in 2018."
The multi-million project will involve the restoration of the Grade A listed Killeavy Castle for use as a Guest House and meeting venue; the development of a courtyard of Grade B listed outbuildings into a 40 bedroom boutique hotel and spa; and the construction of a permanent marquee as a special events suite, adjacent to the Castle which will provide the frontage to this space.
The former walled garden on the Estate will also be restored and contain a café. Nature treks and walks will also be developed to align with the attractions of the adjacent Slieve Gullion Forest Park.
