The finished development, which will sit at 21-23 Rainey Street, will consist of a three-storey building, which will front Rainey Street, and a four-storey building leading on to Postman’s Lane.
He continued: “We recently installed hoarding at the site which features brilliant artwork created by students from Woods Primary School, Magherafelt and this has already provided a welcome splash of colour to the area.
“Works are well underway at Rainey Street, and we look forward to making continued progress over the coming months.”
