Belfast apartments firm looks to expand

A Belfast-based serviced apartment provider is to create 40 new jobs with a new development in Manchester.

Dream Luxury Serviced Apartments – owned by Belfast developer, Tom Smyth – will open 120 one, two and three-bedroom apartments in the city in early January.

Mr Smyth, who launched his company with apartments in Belfast, Liverpool and Newcastle in 2017, said this week that expansion would continue despite the current, challenging environment:

‘We see great opportunity for further growth in both the corporate and leisure markets for travellers who want safe, accessible, luxury, self-catering accommodation at an affordable price,’ he added. ‘Manchester is a fantastic city with a real buzz and an excellent reputation and attitude to doing business. We are looking forward to opening there in the new year and are staying focused on our growth plans, doing our best to safeguard jobs and plan for the future.’

Dream Luxury Serviced Apartments now has 102 apartments in Belfast and is planning further expansion in Cardiff, London and Dublin.

The new Manchester units will be constructed by the Fortis Group in the Deansgate/Salford Quays area of the city.
