A building firm based in Newry has scooped two major renovation schemes in south Belfast.

Choice Housing appointed Peter O'Hare to develop three apartments at a property on the Stranmillis Road.

The work, which will cost over £560,000, also includes the construction of a new three-storey extension and refurbishment work to the main building.

Three addresses on Claremont Street will also be renovated to provide five new homes.

At both locations new kitchens and bathrooms will be fitted and the electrics, plumbing and heating systems will undergo a complete overhaul.

Michael McDonnell, Chief Executive of Choice said: "Across Northern Ireland Choice is stepping up to the challenge of acute housing need by investing to expand our housing stock and get construction underway on much-needed new homes. These projects will deliver eight high quality homes and reflect our commitment to improve and increase the number of units we have.

"The works incorporate the very best standards and the latest in energy saving technology and will enable tenants to make the most of quality, affordable and secure homes rights in the heart of the city. It is pleasing to appoint a contractor that not only has the skills, experience and resources needed for these jobs, but also shares our vision for high quality housing."

Declan Magee at Peter O'Hare, said: "We are pleased to have been appointed by Choice Housing as the preferred contractor to carry out refurbishment and extension works on these challenging but rewarding contracts. Peter O'Hare has extensive experience within the Social housing Sector and has indeed completed several projects of this nature for our client successfully."
