The Bank Buildings will be a five storey building located at 1-27 Castle Street in Belfast, Northern Ireland, a near replica of the destroyed Bank Buildings. It will become Primark's flagship store in Northern Ireland again when it opens.
The best known Bank Buildings was a five-storey, Grade B1 listed red Dumfries sandstone building. The building was built between 1899 and 1900 by W. H. Lynn and was owned by Primark and used as their flagship store in Northern Ireland from 1979 until it was destroyed by fire on 28 August 2018.
As a part of renovations between 2016 and 2018, 29-43 Castle Street (formerly Commonwealth House) was demolished and a new building built in its place which was set to be merged with the original Bank Buildings.[1] The new wing of the building appeared relatively undamaged following the fire of August 2018. The fire damaged Bank Buildings is currently undergoing a complete restoration and repair of the building.
