College Square North and Camden Street in Belfast and the Alms Houses in Annahilt have listed building status, so upgrades had to be sensitively carried out while maintaining the homes to a high level of comfort and safety.
At the historic Alms Houses in Annahilt, an investment of £135,000 has given the three homes, dating from the 1830s, a fresh look.

" Annahilt is such a friendly place, everyone talks to you, and I just love living here.”
In Belfast, 12 apartments in Camden Street, off Lisburn Road were upgraded with an investment of almost £256,000.
Almost £100,000 was invested at College Square North in Belfast city centre. The 16-apartment building, also dating from the mid-1800s, has been refurbished inside and out and new kitchens were installed in each of the apartments.

Tony Giffen, Clanmil’s Director of Assets and Building Safety said: “Preserving the unique character of our listed homes is a priority for us, but we also want to ensure homes are comfortable, warm and safe for the people who live in them.
"It’s important for us, and our customers, that these older homes are as energy-efficient as possible, in line with our environmental strategy.
"The investment in these three sites is part of a £6m investment programme that Clanmil is rolling out during 2024-25.”
