The property benefits from excellent connectivity. Belfast’s new Grand Central Station is located a short distance to the west, which provides an extensive range of rail and bus services across Northern Ireland and beyond. The Westlink is easily accessible to the west and provides access to the M1 and M2. Belfast’s Rapid Transit system ‘The Glider’ is easily accessible from the property on foot, with stops along May Street to the immediate north, whilst a wide range of bus routes also operate nearby, offering strong connections across the city.
Given its city centre location, the majority of Belfast’s main retail, leisure and entertainment destinations are all easily accessible from the property, including Ormeau Baths (<1-min walk),
Grand Opera House (c.8-min walk), Botanic Avenue (c.8-min walk), Donegall Place (c.9-min walk), St George’s Market (c.10-min walk) and Victoria Square Shopping Centre (c.11-min walk). The Lagan Towpath, which comprises c.11 miles of off-road public access, is also easily accessible to the east of the property.
The property is centrally positioned between two world-class universities, Queens University Belfast (c.17-min walk) and Ulster University’s York Street campus (c.20-min walk), therefore
