Ann Street. Bricked up since the 1970's, the ground floor doors and windows of Riddel's Warehouse are being restored

[David Nevin @DavidNevin]

@quoththesloth1 This used to be on Little Charlotte Street - behind Donegall Pass. Must have been the rear of the shop

[David Nevin @DavidNevin]

Donegall Road. The derelict shops next to KFC are being cleared. A ghost sign is temporarily visible - 'Outstanding values at sale prices'

[David Nevin @DavidNevin]

Queen Street. The retail unit in the Swanston House student block is still vacant 8 years after the development was completed. There's a new proposal to turn it into a gym for the building's residents

[David Nevin @DavidNevin]

Royal Avenue. The former Schuh unit opposite CastleCourt has a new tenant - Restock3d, an activewear and streetwear retailer from Glasgow

[David Nevin @DavidNevin]

@PlanningNI_info Seems to be this site - photographed before Phase 1 was built

[David Nevin @DavidNevin]

Winetavern Street. New street art on the former bookmakers. The ground floor is now a Pilates studio and the upper floors are an escape room

[David Nevin @DavidNevin]

Agnes Street. Another 6 units under construction in the industrial estate - office and storage space #BUILDshankill

[David Nevin @DavidNevin]

@rosy_farts Well spotted - never noticed that was single storey before. It opens at Christmas selling photos from the troubles doesn't it?

[David Nevin @DavidNevin]

Rosemary Street. The Linen Hall Charity Bookshop has moved from Royal Avenue and reopened in its latest home - the building that was once Delaney's restaurant

[David Nevin @DavidNevin]

@stevia_nutrient I should have added 'apart from the one directly adjoining it'😆

[David Nevin @DavidNevin]

@smpnjn Or the owner is biding their time with a charity tenant in place for now

[David Nevin @DavidNevin]

@smpnjn Definitely. Hopefully some day the BBC will sell up and their site can be opened up and redeveloped

[David Nevin @DavidNevin]

Bedford Street. Preparation work has started for the Bedford Yard development. The former linen warehouses between Pizza Express and Wetherspoons are to be turned into cafes and offices. A 13 storey aparthotel with 154 bedrooms will be built on the carpark behind them
