Kainos Acquires Site For New Belfast Headquarters

Kainos has acquired a site for its new Belfast headquarters.

The site at Bankmore Square, is currently home of the Movie House Cinema and has planning permission for a replacement 250,000 square foot Grade A office building, although Kainos will be submitting a revised planning application.

CEO of Kainos, Brendan Mooney said: "Our people remain central to everything we do and we want to ensure that our staff work in the best environment possible, and Bankmore Square allows us the opportunity to create a superb, modern and innovative office for our people.

"As well as the additional capacity that the office will bring, this investment, and the location of our new HQ, signals our commitment to retaining and attracting the best staff. We remain focused on providing exceptional careers and working conditions for all at Kainos and hope to close this transaction soon."

Kainos, which currently employs more than 1,400 people across 12 offices in Europe, the US and Canada, is on course to achieve its ninth consecutive year of growth in revenue and staff numbers.

Kainos plans to move into Bankmore Square in Spring 2021.
