PROJECT
The Allstate office building was at the time of commissioning the largest single office building constructed in Northern Ireland. Construction works lasted almost 2 years. In the six-story building, in addition to well-equipped offices, there are restaurants, places to relax, several conference rooms, an outdoor terrace and technologically advanced software development laboratories. The impressive structure has been recognized as one of the symbols of the business transformation taking place in Northern Ireland since the beginning of the 21st century.The new facility was opened by Northern Ireland’s Secretary of State Karen Bradley, who thanked Allstate for its ‘key’ role in developing the Northern Ireland economy.
