It's being named 'Titanic Quarter' and is in a long line of recent developments including: Victoria Square, Waterfront hall, First Asda in NI, New City Airport aka George Best City airport The opel tower, some art gallery, a new chunk of redeveloped road near the Domestic Airport, the city hall redevelopment and a few more smaller things like re-generation/clean up projects.

Official site, look at the header, its going to be pretty impressive:

EDIT: Just before the strange shaped building at the heart of the develepment is an origional Titanic tug boat and a large rectange to make way for a life sized scale lazer model of Titanic. (Dunno how its going to work but it's rumoured to be veeeeery expensive)
Yep im currently monitoring the construciton of the project. i just got back from Belfast after taking a trip to see how they are getting on.

The 'Titanic Signature project' is due to open for the ships 100th anniversary in 2012.
