With demolition complete there is this temporary view from Bedford Street through to Brunswick Street. Work on the new building is expected to start in June 2016 – “Dublin, 15 April 2016 Dalata Hotel Group plc (‘Dalata’ or ‘the Company’), Ireland’s largest hotel operator, today announces it has signed a development contract with McAleer & Rushe, to deliver a 206 room Maldron Hotel on Brunswick Street in central Belfast. Planning permission for a new 14 storey hotel, designed by Belfast architect Consarc, was granted in November 2015. The hotel will be built on the site of the former Belfast Metropolitan College and represents a £21m investment, delivering in excess of 100 new employee positions for the local economy when the hotel is operational. Demolition of the site has already begun and construction is due to commence in June 2016. The hotel is expected to be completed in the first half of 2018.”
