'It’s incredibly exciting': Loftlines unveils resident amenities at 627-home Belfast Build-to-Rent development

Loftlines – the landmark new waterfront neighbourhood in Belfast’s Titanic Quarter – has unveiled a preview of its resident amenities as construction progresses on the 627-home Build-to-Rent (BTR) development ahead of its opening this summer.

Newly released CGIs offer an early look at the shared spaces that will sit at the heart of the scheme, with developers saying the homes are designed to offer more than just living space, focusing instead on lifestyle, community and resident wellbeing.

The amenity offer, which is included within the monthly rent, has been described by developers as the most comprehensive of its kind in Northern Ireland’s rental market. It is designed to make day-to-day living more convenient, social and flexible.

Facilities will include a hi-tech gym, dedicated yoga studio, landscaped rooftop terraces, parcel storage, private dining rooms, games lounge, co-working and meeting spaces, a content creation studio, bike wash and secure storage, a pet spa, broadband, and a 24/7 on-site team.

The development will also function as a fully integrated neighbourhood, combining homes with cafés, retail, hospitality and landscaped public realm, creating a new destination within Titanic Quarter.

Its location is designed to offer strong connectivity, with walkways, cycle routes and public transport links allowing residents to travel easily across Belfast.

The interiors of the Build-to-Rent homes draw inspiration from Belfast’s maritime and industrial heritage, featuring contemporary detailing, warm finishes and textured design elements.

Adam Burney, head of BTR at Legal & General, said the scheme is helping to “redefine rental living” in Belfast and create “much needed supply and choice” in the city’s housing market.

He said: “Loftlines has been designed to offer a completely new rental experience for Northern Ireland; one that delivers genuine value for residents, while creating a real sense of community.

“These spaces are about much more than added extras; they are designed around the way people live and interact today, whether that’s working from home, exercising, socialising or simply having spaces to relax and connect with neighbours.

“What makes Loftlines particularly unique is that access to all these resident amenities is included within the monthly rent, alongside broadband and rates.

“Residents only pay separately for their own electricity and hot water usage. Thanks to the high standards of delivery and the efficient buildings developed by our partners, there are energy savings to be had here too.

“It’s incredibly exciting to see construction progressing so well across these spaces and to now be able to share a glimpse of what residents can look forward to when we open later this summer.”
