A three-storey commercial building designed by Coogan & Co and developed in 1986. The building comprises 2 – 8 Donegall Place & 28 – 36 Castle Place (folio AN122273).

The building was owned by Wildrose Properties (16) Ltd since at least 2007. Wildrose entered into administration in March 2012 and the Administrator appointed Lisney to market the building. The market guide price during autumn 2012 was £5.9m. The building was still on the market during autumn 2013 although was later sold during early 2014 to Northold Properties (Donegall Assets Ltd) for £4.1m.

A McDonalds restaurant has operated across three floors (6,500 ft2) since 1991 (2-4 Donegall Place & 28-36 Castle Place). McDonalds entered into a 35 year lease in July 1991. Marcon Fitout undertook an extensive refurbishment of the restaurant in June 2016.

Next Group plc t/a Lipsy operated across 4,500ft2 from October 2009 – May 2015 (6-8 Donegall Place). Shuz 4 U Belfast Ltd t/a Sketchers Shoes acquired the former Lipsy unit ( 1,850 ft2 retail space at ground floor and 2,700 ft2 of storage at first and second floor) and opened in August 2015.
