Location

This exceptional double-fronted retail unit offers a total ground floor area of approximately 11,554 sq. ft, boasting a commanding frontage of 27 metres (90 feet) onto bustling Ann Street, near the vibrant junction with Arthur Square and Cornmarket - one of Belfast's busiest pedestrian zones.
The unit is currently fitted to a modern standard, featuring a glazed shopfront, wood-effect vinyl flooring, suspended ceilings with recessed lighting, and air conditioning units.
To the rear, the premises benefit from storage areas, as well as access to an escape corridor, lift, and stairwell leading to the first-floor space.
The first floor extends to approximately 11,396 sq. ft, offering additional storage, staff facilities, office accommodation, and ancillary space. With potential for customer access, the upper floor may also be suitable for retail or trading use.
Originally configured as two separate units, the space was later combined to create the current layout. However, the premises may lend themselves well to sub-division, providing flexibility for a range of occupier requirements.
