10.02.2006 - Taggart Holdings announced today, that phase one (35 houses) of their latest exclusive residential development, Brooke Hall, Saintfield Road, Belfast was sold out in a record of 3 hours after its launch yesterday, representing a sale value in excess of £10 million.

Commenting on the success of the release, Michael Taggart, Managing Director, Taggart Holdings said: “Over 600 people registered interest in this particular scheme so it was evident that the launch would attract a large number of people, however we did not forsee that they would queue out in the cold three nights before the morning of the launch.”

“Without a doubt the location of the Brooke Hall development has played a huge factor in its success being only minutes from the Outer Ring and Belfast's City Centre, its south east positioning offers an excellent range of primary and secondary schools as well as parks, shopping and popular sports and leisure facilities. The area also boasts a number of golf courses, including Belvoir Park, Malone and Rockmount Golf Club."

Simon Brien, Partner at the Eric Cairns Partnership said, “Queuing for new homes has been seen in the past in the Belfast market however, it is some years since demand has been so strong for a housing scheme, and we anticipate that those buying their homes in the early phases of Brooke Hall will secure an excellent investment for the future.”
