The courthouse is one of Northern Ireland's best-known listed buildings and was built in 1850.
It closed in 1998 after nearly 150 years of use and has been derelict for 15 years and is in a state of serious disrepair.
"On 12 March 2009, the courthouse suffered significant damage in a fire and a series of further fires in August 2009 caused further massive damage to the structure, prompting questions into the cause and leaving the future of the building in question.
In March 2017, Lawrence Kenwright, from the Signature Living Group, bought the site and announced plans to develop the listed building into a hotel.
The former Crumlin Road Gaol building directly opposite the courthouse has become a very popular visitor attraction. During this first decade of the 21st century, there has been much published and talked about as to how the area can be regenerated for people of the vicinity and Belfast as well as visitors to the city." text Sources: (
