Land Requirements

We are pleased to share the following land requirements across Northern Ireland specifically for 


Residential Development 

Student, Co Living and BTR (Build to Rent) 

Specific Location - Causeway Coast and Glens


We follow a clear approach that allows us to review opportunities promptly and advise whether your site aligns with our requirements.


Option 1 - Residential Development

  • Location – Across NI


  • Preferred Criteria, however not essential  
  • Numbers – 2 – 200 plots
  • Planning Approved (with min 6 months before expiry)
  • Positive NI Water approvals, copy Pre Development Enquiry (PDE), Wastewater Impact Assessment (WWIA) and or Odour Assessments to be shared. 


  • Type – Greenfield / Brownfield will be considered
  • Purchase options to be discussed on a case by case basis. 

If however you have land that has the potential to deliver new housing, but not sure where to start – or have the time to look into it – please get in touch to understand the steps we can take to release value. 


Option 2 - Residential Development

  • Location – Belfast, Belfast commuter belt, South east antrim, North down & Peninsula, Lisburn, Derry/Londonderry, Omagh, Enniskillen, Armagh, Newry, Ballymena


  • Preferred Criteria, however not essential  
  • Numbers – 200 - 1000 plots
  • Planning Approved (with min 6 months before expiry)
  • Positive NI Water approvals, copy Pre Development Enquiry (PDE), Wastewater Impact Assessment (WWIA) and or Odour Assessments to be shared. 
  • Infrastructure agreements regarding Water, Roads, TAS, Rivers, Utilities (Water, Gas, Comms, Electricity), Sub Stations etc and any retaining elements to be shared.  
  • Type - Greenfield / Brownfield will be considered


  • Joint Venture with Landowner may be considered
  • Purchase options to be discussed on a case by case basis.

If however you are not in a position to share details,  we can help provide a site specific strategic programme to understand the viability and potential of the lands in question. 


A regionally significant major development on this scale will require careful coordination, possibly land amalgamation / neighbour agreements, and a comprehensive planning application. 

We can journey this with you and our clients and guide towards key outcomes needed.

Option 3 - Specific Requirement – Causeway Coast & Glens

  • Location – Ballycastle, Bushmills, Portballintrae, Portrush, Portstewart, Castlerock 


  • Preferred Criteria, however not essential  
  • Numbers – up to 50 plots
  • Planning Approved (with min 6 months before expiry)
  • Positive NI Water approvals, copy Pre Development Enquiry (PDE), Wastewater Impact Assessment (WWIA) and or Odour Assessments to be shared. 


  • Type – Greenfield / Brownfield will be considered
  • Purchase options to be discussed on a case by case basis.

Noting this as a specific requirement for Northern Ireland, if you have land that has the potential to deliver this volume of housing, or in these locations but are unsure where the first step is, please get in touch to discuss options that you may consider. 


Option 4 - Student / Co Living / BTR

  • Location - Belfast City Centre, Derry / Londonderry City Centre 


  • Preferred Criteria – viable land in pre planning position, or with planning approved 
  • Numbers - c.150 units plus to achieve industry benchmark economies of scale, however each option will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
  • Type – Greenfield / Brownfield will be considered, also properties that may lend themselves to renovation or refurbishment. 


  • Sharing floor plans in either pdf or dwg format will speed up the review process 

This option would likely involve carrying out a feasibility study on your land / building to gauge if a commercial residential use is a viable option to then pursue via a planning application. 




Option 5 - Project Management & Structured Exit

Any projects proposed will be treated on a strictly confidential basis. 


All projects considered will be assessed through an initial desktop and viability review, together with a site inspection to gain a full understanding of the associated challenges.


Potential options may range from short-term project management advice to agreement to complete the project or proceed with a structured handover and sale to third parties.  


Each project will be treated on a case by case basis.
