We were appointed by the Laganside Corporation with Douglas Wheeler Associates and Crothers Chartered Surveyors to investigate and examine potential leisure and visitor development opportunities to establish an attractive destination to enliven Customs House Square.

Laganside Corporation is investing £4m in a bold vision to establish an exciting new civic outdoor performance space with the magnificent backdrop of the Customs House. The investment will set the standard in terms of quality of urban design and materials and leave a civic legacy for the future. Initial highway work is already underway with the completion of Customs House Square programmed for late 2004. At this point Laganside Corporation Board are keen to clarify the uses, type and intensity of economic activity and private and public sector investment that will be take place in and around the area as a result of the Corporation’s investment. This is the fundamental focus for the commission.
