Hammerson has unveiled a proposal for the regeneration of an important 5.5 acre site in Dublin’s north inner city, known as Dublin Central, which includes a hotel, restaurants and cafes.
The proposals include two new public squares, new pedestrian routes and the restoration of historically important laneways. It ensures the area around Nos. 14–17 Moore Street, a National Monument due to its role in the Easter Rising, is appropriately restored as part of this landmark destination.
The masterplan includes:
> 8,000 sq. m. of restaurants, cafes and shops
> 44,000 sq. m. of flexible, carefully-designed workspace
> Up to 210 hotel rooms
> A new public gallery and café use
> 94 new homes with high-quality resident amenities
Ed Dobbs, Development Manager at Hammerson, said, “Dublin Central will regenerate this important part of Dublin, breathing new life and vibrancy into a unique area with an important history.
'Our priority has been to preserve and celebrate the site’s heritage whilst bringing forward an appropriate proposal that seeks to enhance its history and tell its story. We are passionate about reinstating the site as a focal point of Dublin life for the people of our capital city.
“The creation of this new landmark destination will also bring significant economic, employment and spill-over benefits locally, creating safe, high-quality public spaces where people and brands will want to be.”
