Lambert Smith Hampton has achieved close to the asking price of £5 million for the 1.1-acre former Charles Hurst garage site, just south of City Hall in Belfast's principal office area. The site in Adelaide Street is within the Linenhall Conservation Area. It has planning permission for either 185,000 sq ft of office accommodation or for 160 apartments. A local development company, which is expected to submit a fresh planning application for a courtyard office development, hotel and car-parking facilities, has bought the site.
