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 The scheme was initially approved in February 2024 by Dublin City Council, with an appeal against the decision later withdrawn.

The Home Performance Index (HPI), developed by the Irish Green Building Council, is a certification system that measures the quality and sustainability of new homes across different categories. This not only guides property developers’ sustainability strategies but also serves as a powerful tool for bringing homes to market.
Ireland’s planning framework is moving from Local Area Plans towards new area-based plans, but the core idea remains the same: translating higher-level policy into clear, place-specific guidance for a defined area. That guidance typically covers issues such as land use, density, height and built form, movement, and the public realm.
Hotel projects need to be understood, discussed and promoted long before they are built. In that sense, they are not so different to other types of development. What tends to vary is what people need to see early on. For planning and stakeholder engagement, for example, the priority is accuracy and context, clear representation of massing, materials and how the proposal sits within its surrounding environment.
Following last year’s article on the key trends shaping the AEC industry, we are back to share what we believe will define 2026. These trends are not entirely new.
