Dublin City Council has given the green light for the construction of a 91-unit co-living scheme at the former Kiely’s Pub in the South Dublin village of Donnybrook.
The scheme is being developed by Westridge Real Estate who is led by Shane Whelan, one of Ireland’s leading Asset and Development Managers.
The 91 units will comprise one-bed apartments spread across 7 storeys with communal kitchens, living and dining spaces on each floor. The scheme will include a range of residential amenities including a courtyard, a roof terrace, co-working spaces, a laundry, and multi-functional communal areas. The development will also contain a restaurant or café unit at ground floor level.
The original planning application comprised seven storeys and was made up of 100 shared living units. The Council ordered that all rooms have a minimum width of 3 metres which lead to fewer of the shared living units from the proposal.
Westridge acquired the property in 2019, for a value of more than €5m from real estate firm Knight Frank. A spokesperson from the developer stated that the proposed development could be operational in 2-3 years, and then it is envisaged that there will be a renewed demand for shared accommodation within this timescale. Work is expected to commence in Q3 of 2021, which will see the demolition of the existing Kiely’s Pub.
Kiely’s Pub has long been associated with author Paul Howard’s fictional character, Ross O’Carroll Kelly. The pub was put up for sale in 2018 by owners Pat and Mary Crimin after an announcement of their retirement. Over three decades in business, the venue became a renowned rugby pub due to its proximity to Leinster Ireland’s rugby stadiums in Donnybrook and Ballsbridge.
CGI consultants, 3D Design Bureau, liaised with the development team to provide both 3D planning and 3D marketing solutions. 3D Design Bureau produced a total of 11 verified view montages, 2 interior CGIs, 1 3D floor plan, and a BRE Daylight & Sunlight Assessment which were submitted as part of the planning application to Dublin City Council. The 3D visualisations are now being used for marketing purposes with national media covering the project.
