Built circa 27 years ago, the subject property is a modern, city centre office building arranged over ground and 6 upper floors with on -site parking for 33 vehicles. The upper floors are to be served by 2 new 8 person TK Elevator lifts in a centrally located core where male and female facilities are located at each level. Each rectangular, floor plate benefits from good natural light on 3 sides through double glazed units. Whilst the floor plates are primarily designed for single occupancy, subdivision into smaller lettable areas is possible into suites of 2,500–3,000 sqft accessed from the common core lobbies. The suites are heated/cooled with a mix of gas fired heating/cooling units. The building currently has 3 tenants including HSBC, Starbucks and Calnex plc with the current owners NFUM prepared to enter into a leaseback of part. See later for proposed leaseback details. The vacant suites have recently been vacated and whilst they could be offered to the market, full value will be unlocked after refurbishment. The surface car parking area is accessed from Alfred Street via controlled, electric gates monitored via the concierge at ground floor reception. Subject to planning, there is potential to provide additional floor space by building over the parking area to the rear which may create the opportunity for a wider re-purposing / redevelopment across the Hotel, PBSA and BTR/BTS sectors in time.

Since the end of the Covid pandemic the office market has undoubtedly gone through a transitional phase with the advent of remote and hybrid working practices. Many employers have been adapting but there is growing evidence that many companies in the interim have experienced declining operational effectiveness with poor levels of collaboration and mentoring. A number of recent press announcements however would suggest that the remote 5 day / week is being replaced by a 3 or 4 day hybrid model. This relative stability as substantiated by market research has demonstrated growing take up levels across many cities throughout the UK and Ireland. More specifically in Belfast the second half of 2024 take up in Belfast totalled 347,934 sqft compared to 261,536 sqft in 2023, a rise of 33%. The 2024 total is approaching what would be considered average pre-pandemic levels. Key to letting success is the quality of the fit out, location and inherent flexibility in floor plate size all of which can be delivered at Harvester House. On the supply side with growing take up and no new schemes due to start for the foreseeable future due to constrained viability, refurbishment of existing stock will deliver needed product.
