This new development at the junction of the Ballyclare Road and Antrim Road will help to address the high demand for housing in the region and bring more residents and shoppers to the area, as well as creating 100 construction jobs and four full time jobs in retail.

“The development will also transform this area and improve its appeal to shoppers and visitors and create significant supply chain and commercial opportunities for the wider business communities.”

Mayor, Cllr Billy Webb commented: “The council is delighted to have secured this much needed investment for Glengormley. The support we are providing to Glengormley forms part of our overall strategy to attract over £1Billion of investment to Antrim and Newtownabbey in the next few years. We are well on track to achieve our investment target and create over 2,000 new jobs by 2025.”
