Environment & Economy Minister Robert Atkins opened Lombard House on 18 November 1992. The six storey steel framed building was designed for Martin Estates by Lyons Architects and constructed by H&J Martin. The façade of the building extends outwards onto Lombard Street in a cantilevered bow. The Cornmarket branch of the Ulster Bank relocated to the ground floor of the building in early 1993 and also occupies part of the first floor for office use.
