Arcona is a long-running, mixed-style community off Lisburn and Rossmoyne roads. Charter Homes & Neighborhoods is the builder. Older news coverage describes the overall plan as a traditional neighborhood development of roughly 248 acres, with a mix of home types, some shops and offices, and a large amount of open space. Later phases have been built in stages.
No news coverage, meeting agenda or opposition specific to Phase 9 was found online. The size and layout of the 14 lots, and what is on the land now, are not stated in the sources found.
What it could mean nearby
