A new 140ft (42m) office block on the edge of Belfast city centre has passed its final planning hurdle.
The 'City Quays 5' project is the latest step in turning the old Sailortown area into a "business district" says economist Richard Ramsey, helping to shift the "centre of gravity" of the city.
It was given the green light by Belfast City Council's planning committee in June, and a meeting of the full council on Monday night effectively rubber-stamped that decision, paving the way for the plans to be brought to fruition.
The 10-storey block will become a prominent part of the skyline in the northern part of the city, rising above the nearby M3 flyover across the Lagan River.
It will stand on land opposite the historic Harbour Commissioners' Office, down the street from the listed Sinclair Seamen's Presbyterian Church, and beside an existing NCP multi-storey car park (the one decorated with blue panelling).
