Construction News Awards 2024 Finalist

Park Avenue Belfast has been shortlisted as a Construction News Awards 2024 Finalist. The housing scheme has been shortlisted in Project of the Year (under £20m) category.

The project was delivered in partnership with Lacuna Developments and RPP Architects for Choice Housing.

The new mixed tenure residential development comprises of 90 units in total, with 63 of these for social housing use and the other 27 units for private rent. Handed over ahead of schedule at the start of 2024, with expected completion date in Spring.

Park Avenue is a project that addresses the demand for affordable homes in East Belfast, whilst standing as a project that ultimately enhanced the surrounding area.

Further marks of excellence at Park Avenue include its aesthetic, with keen attention to detail throughout the scheme. These include contrasting materials utilised across the units. Plus, the site benefits from stunning views over Belfast City Centre and the Belfast Docks.

The site integrates very well with the existing environment, partially due to the retention of the mature deciduous boundary at the site. Furthermore the clever use of materials and detailing makes the site blend into its city environment. The scheme has been well received in the locality.

The Construction News Awards 2024 Final will be held in London in May. The awards are the largest and most prestigious construction awards in the UK.
