Glenarm Harbour Regeneration Site Brought To Market

A unique seafront regeneration site in Co Antrim has been placed on the market by Mid and East Antrim Borough Council. Leading commercial property agency Lisney has been instructed to sell the site at Glenarm Harbour by way of a development brief.

Offers of around £200,000 are invited for the currently vacant Eglington Yard site which overlooks the marina and picturesque Glenarm River.

It is hoped its redevelopment will significantly contribute towards the wider regeneration of Glenarm and help fulfil the tourism potential of the area.

The site covers 1.26 acres and includes an open sided warehouse, a number of outbuildings and a substantial hardcore yard area.

Andrew Gawley, Director at Lisney, said:

“This development brief presents a rare opportunity for an investor to place their mark on a site in an outstanding location at the heart of Glenarm village and capitalise on the tremendous potential offered by the surrounding area and its close proximity to local attractions such as Glenarm Glen, Glenarm Forest Park and Glenarm Castle which plays host to the Dalriada Festival.

“The opportunity is strategically positioned fronting New Road which forms part of the world-renowned Causeway Coastal Route and is directly opposite the new Tourist Information Office in the village.

“It also overlooks a marina which boasts 40 fully-serviced pontoon berths within the village’s historical limestone harbour.”

Councillor Lindsay Millar, Mayor of Mid and East Antrim Borough Council, added:

“We are confident that with the right buyer, this incredible site can be transformed into a viable and sustainable jewel in Glenarm’s tourism crown.

“Growing the economy and boosting tourism are key priorities for our council, and we are doing our utmost to provide the best possible conditions for business to flourish.

“Glenarm has superb potential and the unlocking of this site is key to our ambitious plans to breathe new life into the village.”

Submissions are invited before 21st February 2019 and the Council has set a proposed target date for development of the lands by 31st December 2022.
