Episode Details

East Belfast is shaking up its skyline as Clarawood House, a 15-story icon since 1967, gets the wrecking ball — part of a $308 million push to demolish aging tower blocks and replace them with modern social housing. Already, three other towers have fallen, including Monkscoole and Seymour Hill’s twin towers, while the Connswater Greenway was temporarily shut down for the demolition. This ambitious project, called the largest and most complex in Northern Ireland’s history, prioritizes tenant input and community collaboration. Next up: Kilbroney House, already vacated, with Choice Housing leading Clarawood’s rebuild and Clanmil taking on Kilbroney. More demolitions are coming — Ross House, Belvoir’s Breda and Belvoir House, and Latharna in Larne — all before year’s end, reshaping Belfast’s social housing landscape.
