TITANIC QUARTER MASTERPLAN · BELFAST, NORTHERN IRELAND · 2005 · HARCOURT DEVELOPMENTS ·
Stretching out along the River Lagan, this graceful armature of land and water will become the epicentre of Northern
Ireland’s 21st century economy. Built over 15 years, the £3 billion masterplan will transform the 75 hectares of
Queen’s Island into the Titanic Quarter; a community of 7,000 homes complete with offices, education, retail and
leisure facilities. The sweeping lines of the verdant ribbon parks lend the island a lyrical form, their informal woodlands
and meadows creating a place for active recreation. The surrounding street grid responds to the historic fabric of the
shipyard site, preserving the city’s maritime heritage while ensuring public access in perpetuity.
