About
The Obel, Belfast Apartment 21.03 A Stunning Home Above the Belfast Skyline Welcome to Apartment 21.03 Sitting high on the 21st floor of The Obel, Ireland's tallest building, this stunning two-bedroom apartment offers a truly one-of-a-kind living experience in the heart of Belfast.
With sweeping views in almost every direction, a high-quality finish throughout, and the peace and quiet that only this kind of elevated position can offer, Apartment 21.03 is simply unlike anything else on the market.
The Obel Tower is one of the most recognisable buildings not just in Belfast, but on the entire island of Ireland.
Standing 27 storeys tall, it has become a genuine landmark on the city's skyline since it was completed, and to live here is to be part of something truly special.
One of the most striking things about living at this height is just how peaceful it is. The noise of the city simply doesn't reach the 21st floor.
Whether you're starting the morning with a coffee or winding down in the evening, the apartment feels calm and removed from the world below, a genuine retreat right in the centre of Belfast.
Evenings bring a spectacular show of fading light across the hills and water, with the city's lights gradually coming to life across the panorama.
It's the kind of everyday experience that makes coming home genuinely something to look forward to.
Positioned on a corner of the building, the apartment benefits from an exceptional outlook that stretches for miles in multiple directions.
On a clear day, the views are quite simply breathtaking, from the water and cranes, right across to mountains on the distant horizon.
Among the landmarks and landscapes visible from the apartment: Belfast Harbour and the iconic Harland and Wolff cranes Scrabo Tower, rising above the County Down countryside The Castlereagh Hills Stormont Estate and Parliament Buildings The Mourne Mountains in Newcastle, County Down Black Mountain and the Belfast Hills Custom House Square directly below The Grand Central Hotel The combination of the harbour, city, hills, and mountains all visible from your own home, is something you simply won't find anywhere else in Belfast.
The apartment is presented in excellent condition throughout and is ready to move into. It's been well maintained and the quality is evident from the moment you walk through the door.
