Invest NI is establishing its new north west regional office at Ebrington Plaza in Londonderry.
Invest NI is to establish its new north west regional office at Ebrington Plaza in the Waterside area of Londonderry. Economy Minister Dr Caoimhe Archibald said the office would serve as a base for driving economic development across the region. The agency has occupied Timber Quay since 2006 but sought a new location after Ulster University purchased that building.
Invest NI hopes to move into the new premises in early 2027 and has agreed a 10-year lease. Dr Archibald said the move would strengthen the agency's regional presence and improve its accessibility to businesses across the north west. The minister said she looked forward to meeting local businesses and inward investors from the office.
Invest NI has faced criticism over inward investment levels in the north west. In 2025, Strabane business leader Kieran Kennedy resigned from the Invest NI board after alleging discrimination against the north west. An independent review in 2023 found profound divisions at the top of the organisation were damaging its effectiveness.
