A massive £90m housing development of 550 new homes – one of the largest of its kind since the crash – is being built in Bangor. Belfast company Lagan Homes is behind the ambitious plans which will see family houses built in two locations in the Co Down town in a project that is predicted to create around 100 jobs.Building has already begun at Lynn Hall Park on the Rathgael Road, while a second site at Helen’s Wood is currently going through the initial stages of the planning process.The development is one of the largest single housing projects in Northern Ireland since the recession in 2008, according to Samuel Dickey, the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors’ residential spokesman.
