We’ve been so busy… we’ve nearly forgotten to tell you what’s actually happening.

Over the past few weeks, the phone hasn’t stopped.
Enquiries, viewings, conversations — people looking for space, looking for opportunity, looking for a chance to grow.

And in the middle of all that, we’ve realised… we haven’t properly shared the bigger picture.

With support from the Department for the Economy NI, North City Business Centre has secured three additional buildings — a £3.75 million investment that will expand our space to almost 200,000 sq ft.

But this isn’t just about expansion.

It’s about finally being able to say yes to the demand we’ve been seeing every day.

👉 Yes to the small business ready to take its first unit
👉 Yes to the entrepreneur who’s outgrown the kitchen table
👉 Yes to the social enterprise that needs a base to make an impact

For years, we’ve been at capacity — turning people away for space, when we knew they had potential.

Now, we’re in a position to change that.

And this is only the beginning.

We’re also investing further into these buildings — bringing them back into use, upgrading them, and most importantly working directly with businesses to create spaces that are bespoke to their needs.

This isn’t one size fits all.
This is about shaping space around ambition.

These buildings will be brought back to life, not just as workspaces, but as places where ideas grow, jobs are created, and North Belfast continues to move forward.

North Belfast has never lacked ambition.
Now it’s getting the space to match it.

We’ll share more soon… once we catch our breath.

In the meantime if you are interested in space, give Sarah a call on 02890747470 or email [email protected]

𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭

Our Business Adviser, Chris, recently had the opportunity to help deliver this initiative again with Young Enterprise Northern Ireland, this time alongside The Retro Room at Cityside Retail Park in North Belfast.

The aim was simple: to help young people see that self-employment is a real pathway and to give them hands-on exposure to a North Belfast business in a supportive setting.

This kind of work really matters, bringing local young people and local businesses closer together while opening up future opportunities in North Belfast.

It was great to see pupils engaging, asking questions and getting a closer look at what running a business can look like in practice.

A big thank you to Young Enterprise NI and The Retro Room in Cityside Retail Park for being part of it.

Paid Ads Masterclass: From Setup to Sales | 25/02/2026

It was brilliant to welcome local business owners to North City Business Centre for our Paid Ads Masterclass and to see so many people investing time in building their marketing skills.

Together, we explored how to plan, launch and optimise Meta ads, including targeting, creative, budgets and measuring results.

Thank you to everyone who attended and a special thanks to Ruth Young from Ruthless Media for her support and delivery.

North City Business Centre attended today’s Careers Convention 2026 at Belfast Boys’ Model School, with students from Mercy College (Years 10–14) also taking part.

It was a great opportunity to speak with young people about entrepreneurship, future career pathways and the support available if they’re considering starting a business, including the Go Succeed NI service.

We had plenty of positive conversations with students, highlighting the role North City Business Centre plays in supporting the economic development of North Belfast through practical advice, tailored programmes and community-focused support.

Thanks again to the careers team at Boys' Model, cracking day!

✨ Calling Local Organisations – Join Our North Belfast Bursary Scheme 2026 ✨

Last year, we were proud to deliver the North Belfast Community Partnership Horizons Bursary Scheme, supporting 33 local people with a £500 bursary each to help them progress, upskill, and move forward.

This was made possible through a brilliant partnership between North City Business Centre, Newington Housing Association, Ashton Centre, and Belfast City Council 🤝

This year, we want to make it bigger and better and we are re inviting new organisations to join us.

💡 How it works:

Minimum contribution: £500

Every £500 funds one bursary for a local person

Partners are recognised as part of a collaborative, community-focused initiative

Together, we increase impact, opportunity, and reach across North Belfast

If your organisation is passionate about supporting people, skills, education, and opportunity in North Belfast, we’d love to have you involved.
