The centre was built by John Laing. The prestigous nature of the development made it a target for the Provisional IRA; the centre was bombed five times during its construction, four times after it opened, and suffered incendiary bomb attacks. [Sharrock, David. Belfast basks in new kind of boom; Confusion surrounds attempts to attract foreign investment but on the city's streets the tills are ringing in the benefits of peace.
