The Titanic Signature Project (TSP) was identified in NITB’s Strategic Framework for Action 2004-2007 as one of five key tourism signature projects for development to enhance the Northern Ireland tourism offering.  Identified for its potential to create international stand out and world class excellence for Northern Ireland, the Titanic Signature Project is based on the Titanic and Maritime Belfast Heritage theme.

The TSP embraces the development of a premium ‘must see’ visitor destination for the people of Belfast and visitors to the island of Ireland. The TSP will drive the investment of a £97 million world-class visitor attraction, the Titanic Signature Building (TSB). This iconic building will be located in the heart of Titanic Quarter and will be opened by 2012. It will showcase the story of the Titanic and the wider theme of shipbuilding and seafaring in Belfast, including the engineering, industrial, social, cultural and economic origins and connections.

 

The most important component of the Titanic Quarter site will be Titanic Belfast ® which will be located at the head of the slipways, where the Titanic was built. The overall design of the building has been influenced by the shipbuilding heritage of Belfast. The building in its line and form incorporates elements of the Titanic bow, the White Star Line insignia and the gantries used to build the Titanic. Up to 600 people will be employed at the peak of the construction phase which represents a major boost to Northern Ireland’s construction sector. The Titanic Belfast ® will open in 2012 to mark the centenary of Titanic’s maiden voyage.
