Belfast: Filthy McNasty's pub to make way for student flats
- Published
An 11-storey student housing block will be built on the site of Filthy McNasty's on the Dublin Road
A developer has been granted planning permission to demolish a Belfast city centre pub and replace it with student flats.
The scheme will see an 11-storey housing block built on the site of Filthy McNasty's on the Dublin Road.
The same developer, FMN Properties, has applied to build a replacement pub on nearby Ventry Street.
The Filthy McNasty's scheme would involve about 200 accommodation units, along with street-level retail units.
Thousands of purpose-built student accommodation units have been built in Belfast in recent years.
They have largely been clustered around the new Ulster University development on the northern fringe of the city centre.
However an increasing number are planned for the Dublin Road area.
Queen's University is planning a scheme on part of the site once occupied by the Movie House cinema and another development is proposed for the site of the Fanum House office block.
