Work has begun on a new seven-storey student accommodation development on Seamus Quirke Road, County Galway. Developed by Elkstone Real Estate, and approved by An Bord Pleanála in 2022, the project replaces an existing car park with a student housing scheme comprising 240 student beds.
Construction has now begun on a new 10-storey tourist hostel at the corner of Foley Street and Joyce’s Walk, Dublin 1. The scheme was initially approved in February 2024 by Dublin City Council, with an appeal against the decision later withdrawn.
Dublin City Council has approved a new residential development under the Part 8 planning process on a derelict site at Bannow Road, Cabra West, Dublin 7. Delivered in partnership with Clúid Housing, the scheme will bring new homes and community space to this part of the city.
Following an appeal, An Coimisiún Pleanála has approved planning permission for a new residential development at The Barn, Atmospheric Road, in Dalkey. The decision clears the way for the demolition of the existing dwelling and outbuildings, to facilitate the construction of 22 apartments across two residential blocks.

An Coimisiún Pleanála issued a decision to grant planning permission for a new 100-bedroom hotel on Pleasants Street, Dublin. The scheme will replace the existing building on the site and deliver a new city centre hospitality development in a prime city centre location near Iveagh Gardens, placing it close to many of Dublin’s main business and visitor areas.
Aerial montages, also known as aerial CGIs, showcase a proposed property development from a bird’s-eye perspective. They combine carefully positioned aerial photography with a 3D representation of the development, clearly illustrating the site’s layout, location, and how the scheme integrates with its surrounding environment. This benefits both property planning and marketing strategies.
