There has been a call to transform Belfast city centre as it can be revealed one in three non-domestic buildings are empty.
In recent months there has been a spotlight on the city centre which has come under criticism for a lack of cleanliness, anti-social behaviour and entire streets being "forgotten about" as many of the properties are boarded up and abandoned.
It can now be revealed that recent figures from the Department of Fianance that 33.7% or 1,858, of non-domestic buildings in the town are currently empty, with this including shops, offices, bars and restaurants, churches and public sector buildings.
