Construction BUSINESS

Private property group Ballymore has officially launched its new docklands development, Dublin Landings, at an event at the CHQ Building IFSC on Custom House Quay this morning.

Dublin Landings is set to be a 1 million square foot mixed-use development on North Wall Quay. Five new buildings are set to be delivered by 2020, with 700,000 square feet of flexible Grade A office and retail space with 273 luxury residential apartments.

The National Treasury Management Agency are set to be the first tenants to move in, taking 83,000 square feet of space. Construction of the first two buildings is already underway.

The gross development value of the project is estimated in excess of €700 million upon completion. It will create up to 2,000 construction jobs throughout the life of the project.

Amenities on site will include rooftop gardens and terrace, gym, concierge service for residents, and electric car charging. Both residential and commercial units will be fitted with best in class LED lighting and all units will have a BER3 rating. It will also boast excellent transport links with proximity to the Dublin Port Tunnel, the Luas and Connolly train station.

The development will see Ballymore with Oxley Docklands Quay Ltd, a Singapore-based company that Ballymore has partnered with on projects such as London’s Royal Wharf in recent years.

Sean Mulryan, chairman and chief executive of Ballymore Group, commented: “I am delighted to be developing a project of this scale in Dublin City Centre. The Docklands area and North Wall Quay specifically, has great potential and we are looking forward to harnessing that. Dublin Landings will showcase our design expertise in Docklands development and will bring to life our vision of creating a vibrant community within the area.”
