Prime residential development land extending to approximately 2.84 acres (1.15 hectares) located in Stranmillis

The land is located in the highly sought after ‘BT9’ area of Belfast, within close proximity of Stranmillis Village and the Malone Road, providing ease of access to Belfast City centre, situated just c. 2.5 miles away.

The land offers a rare opportunity to acquire a potential residential development site, within an extremely popular residential area, situated directly adjacent to the YMCA football playing fields. The land is accessed directly from Knightsbridge Park, which in turn is accessed off Stranmillis Road via Richmond Park.

Stranmillis is a thriving and extremely popular area to live, work and socialise situated in the heart of South Belfast, benefiting from a range of local amenities to include General Merchants (5A), Cutters Wharf, Stranmillis College, Queen’s University, Stranmillis Primary School and Belfast Boat Club.

The lands are located adjacent to the Belfast YMCA Stranmillis hub, providing for a strategic opportunity to partner with a trusted charity. The site borders the YMCA’s playing fields and hub, featuring a range of amenities to include a day nursery, after school club, gym, and community facilities.

Further plans for the area include a Community Garden, walking trails, and a junior park run. With over 170 years of service, Belfast YMCA is deeply rooted in childcare, youth empowerment, and community engagement, with a focus on peacebuilding. This land presents the chance to collaborate on a scheme aligned with the YMCA’s mission, leveraging existing resources for mutual benefit and enhancing community well-being.
