Construction News Image
Marcon Fit-Out is completing works to a new McDonald's restaurant in Belfast.

The building at Boucher Road is the global restaurant chain's first new build restaurant in Northern Ireland since 2001.

Antrim-based Marcon is putting finishing touches at what will be the 27th McDonald's restaurant in Northern Ireland.

The 84-seater restaurant featuring a two-lane drive-thru is due to open on 19 August. It will employ 120, including 80 new staff.

The £2 million project to create the building in Belfast represents Marcon's largest contract win from the world's biggest restaurant chain to date - and its first full new build restaurant for McDonald's.

Marcon began work on the 27-week build programme at the start of February.

Director Mark O'Connor said: "The fact that McDonald's have entrusted us with this project reflects what we have done in the past. I am confident this project will lead to many more opportunities for us in the future.

"There are plans for other new builds in Northern Ireland over the next five years, as well as numerous projects across the UK, and this demonstrates our capabilities."

The building at Boucher Road will also be the most 'green' McDonald's restaurant in Northern Ireland. Features include solar panels, low voltage lighting, waterless urinals and an environmentally friendly air conditioning system.
