Belfast City Council bought the 1769 Assembly Rooms for £2.7M to begin its restoration and boost local regeneration.
Belfast City Council has acquired the historic, vacant Assembly Rooms in the city center for £2.7 million, securing a key cultural landmark built in 1769.
The grade B1 listed building, deteriorating since 2000, has been added to the World Monuments Fund’s 2025 Watch List.
The purchase marks the start of a larger restoration effort, with estimated costs of £8 to £10 million, and supports broader plans to regenerate the Cathedral and Northeast Quarter through heritage-led development.
The council also acquired adjacent properties, while the stalled Tribeca project remains on hold.
Funding may come from national and international sources.
