Plans to reconstruct a new replica facade at the site of Bangor's Royal Hotel will “renergise and reinvigorate” the historic town centre building, those behind the project have said.
Back in 2018, it was first announced that the landmark Co Down hotel, which had closed four years earlier, was set to be transformed into apartments as part of a £3m development.
At the time, councillors in Ards and North Down gave Expedia Capital, a Northern Ireland development and regeneration company, permission to turn it into 21 high quality apartments with four ground floor restaurant units.
