After months of redevelopment, Belfast’s famous Odyssey complex is officially open for business with an enhanced food and drink offering.
Following the arrival of the first new food tenants Nando’s and Five Guys last week, the waterfront venue has also confirmed another new entertainment arrival for the scheme later this year.
To support the relaunch, the complex formerly known as the Odyssey Pavilion will now rebrand to Odyssey Place - described as a "fresh, dynamic moniker that will create a sense of place and a destination brand for families".
The Leaseholder of Odyssey Place, Matagorda2, has revealed that Lost City Golf will be finding a new home in the space later this year.
The golf leisure operator, which currently has a location at Cityside Retail Park, will open in a substantial 15,000 sq ft unit offering two exciting indoor adventure golf courses and restaurant.
The scale of food and leisure tenants now operational including Cineworld and Hollywood Bowl enhance the world-class events and experiences offered by The SSE Arena, Belfast, the Stena Line Belfast Giants, W5 science and discovery centre, and state-of-the-art learning centre, W5 LIFE.
Joining Nando's and Five Guys, Italian food chain Zizzi is preparing to open their doors in the revamped space the week after Easter.
Guy Hollis, Matagorda2, commented: "It’s great to see our new tenants in and trading strongly in their first week ahead of what’s expected to be a busy Easter break. With an impressive mix of family-food outlets and leisure activities, Odyssey Place is sure to be a destination for families from across Belfast and beyond keen to have a full day’s itinerary to entertain kids off school.
"We’re also delighted to announce that Lost City Golf will join our roster later in the year, with only a few units remaining to fill, negotiations for which are well underway and should hopefully be confirmed in the coming months."
Local firm, Finch Commercial Real Estate and McMullen Real Estate are advising Matagorda2 on all leasing.
Finch co-founder Nicky Finnieston said: "Odyssey Place is Northern Ireland’s dominant leisure venue and we’re not surprised in the interest from big name brands keen to secure space.
"After months of redevelopment and high quality fit out, it’s exciting to see tenants open their doors. Initial footfall has been strong and we expect this to continue as the offering enhances further, with plenty more to come."
