Overview

Description

The historic Opera House building, also known as the Hayford Block, in downtown Belfast is comprised of over 33,000 square feet of mixed use commercial space including retail, office, apartments and special services. The inaugural ball of Hayford Hall was held May 12th 1869 and the building has been the legacy of the city and people of Belfast for over 150 years. With 17 current tenants to support the financial investment for the new owners, the real potential for this building is the unoccupied 60' x 100' Opera House space itself. With 27' ceilings it obviously lends itself to be the original use of the Opera house or any other large gathering facility but the potential development of that space into two floors of in-town condominiums is also another great possibility with two floors of condos facing the town on one side and ocean views from every room on the other side. Like a time machine the original theater space has stood for decades waiting for the right person to come along
