Irish developers, Fitzwilliam Real Estate have received planning approval for the construction of a 13-storey apartment development in Dun Laoghaire.
The approved scheme will see the construction of 102 built-to-rent apartments spread across 2 housing blocks that will range in height from 9 to 13 storeys. The site, which is located on Crofton Road and near the town’s seafront, is currently operating as a carpark for St. Michael’s Hospital. The new building will close the urban gap between the protected structures in Charlemont Terrace and the Seafront Quarter.
The 102 apartments will comprise 80 one-bed units and 22 two-bed units. The blocks will include a range of amenities such as a co-working space, a gym, a games area, a kitchen area, and a multi-purpose recreational space. A publicly accessible café will be provided at ground floor level of the 13 storey block while the smaller block will feature a bicycle repair station and waste and storage units.
The Dun Laoghaire scheme will include communal open space located at the courtyard between the two buildings, while a public space will be provided on the northern side of the larger apartment block. A total of 29 car spaces and 184 bicycle spaces are also outlined in the plans.
