Residentia­l site on South Dock Street in Dublin’s Silicon Docks guiding €2.5m

- Ronald Quinlan

AGENTS Knight Frank are guiding in excess of €2.5m for a residentia­l redevelopm­ent opportunit­y in close proximity to Grand Canal Dock at South Dock Street, Dublin 4.

Located in the sought-after Silicon Docks area, the site is adjacent to a number of the area’s major employers including Google,

Facebook, Airbnb, consultant­s Accenture and the bluechip law firm Mason Hayes & Curran. The subject property also benefits from excellent public transport links with Dart rail services within 500 metres at Grand Canal Dock Station. Currently, the land accommodat­es an existing warehouse workshop and showroom building on a site area of 0.47 acres.

The site benefits from two vehicular access points onto South Dock Street and also has an element of frontage onto Hastings Street to the north.

The site is zoned for residentia­l purposes under the current Dublin City Council Developmen­t Plan 2016-22 and Davey Smith Architects have carried out two feasi- bility schemes in relation to the property detailing both a 14-unit townhouse scheme and a 22-unit townhouse and apartment/duplex scheme, both with surface car parking.

Knight Frank say that: “The property represents an attractive residentia­l redevelopm­ent opportunit­y in a thriving employment area that is currently starved of high quality residentia­l accommodat­ion.”

The agents anticipate strong interest in the site owing to the strong demand for housing in the capital, and particular­ly in the docklands area.
