J3375 : Philip House, Belfast (January 2017)
taken 8 years ago, near to Belfast, Co Antrim, Northern Ireland

An office building, at York Street, close to the corner of Little Patrick Street, for which there is the following planning permission: “Z/2015/0177/F 123-137 York Street Belfast BT15 1AB demolition of the existing building and erection of mixed use building with a ground floor retail unit, 407 managed student acommodation [sic] rooms (with communal living rooms, kitchens), associated reception/office facility, gym other ancillary acommodation [sic] above. the development also includes a landscaped courtyard, plant and storage areas, car parking, cycle provision and solar PV array”. The photographs submitted by me appear as a neutral matter of record only. I have no connection with the application and express no opinions – for or against it.
A University of Ulster press release dated 7 March 2013, commenting on the proposed new Belfast campus at York Street Link
contained the following: “This will mean around 14,000 students and 1,500 staff will occupy the building over the course of a week . . . . . The University has been working with partners in government on a Community Business Opportunities Plan which will capture these benefits for the advantage of the surrounding communities”.
The appearance of Royal Avenue and York Street and the types of businesses accommodated there (and surrounding streets) seems likely to change in line with developments as the University becomes established.
This is a collection of photographs of the area “for the record”.
