The former Royston and Oyster Houses now with the two new floors under construction. “PwC has struck Belfast's biggest private-sector office letting deal to become the anchor tenant in the  city’s Merchant Square development. Currently based in Waterfront Plaza, PwC’s existing 2,000 staff will relocate to Merchant Square in  the summer of 2020. PwC says its plans for further investment and job creation mean it is running out of space  in its current Belfast headquarters. The £70 million Merchant Square complex is being developed by Oakland Holdings, and straddles the junction of Wellington Place and Upper Queen Street, combining the former Oyster House and Royston House. When completed there will be over 200,000 sq feet of Grade A office accommodation on nine floors, with space for more than 3,000 people” - PwC press release.
