Yet Glenmona is about far more than bricks and mortar. At its core, the development is grounded in social value. Through the Buy Social model, Braidwater and Apex have created meaningful employment and training opportunities for local people, including school leavers and those previously unemployed.
The project has also supported community organisations such as Gort na Móna GAC through funding and engagement— reinforcing the idea that housing developments can and should deliver for the wider community.
Environmental sustainability is woven into the fabric of Glenmona. In addition to biodiversity corridors and extensive planting, the site layout promotes lowcarbon transport options and provides inclusive spaces for all age groups. The inclusion of care facilities, age-friendly design elements and accessible housing ensures the neighbourhood meets the needs of a broad and diverse population.
Glenmona also addresses a critical housing need in Belfast, providing a supply of high-quality social and affordable homes in a market where demand continues to outstrip availability. But more than just delivering numbers, the project challenges perceptions about what this kind of housing should look like. The design quality, integration of green space, and community-first ethos make it a leading example of how large-scale development can deliver longterm, positive change.
