Hammerson submits another planning application for Upper O’Connell Street

UK developers Hammerson has submitted further planning applications to Dublin City Council for its planned redevelopment of Moore Street and upper O’Connell Street.

A spokesperson for the company said that this application relates to addresses No. 43 to No. 60 O’Connell Street Upper and includes a proposal office, retail, and restaurant spaces as well as enabling works for a future MetroLink station.

An additional application has been submitted in parallel with respect to No. 61 O’Connell Street Upper proposing retail and residential uses.

Earlier this year, Dublin City Council approved three separate planning applications for Hammerson’s Dublin Central development including for a new hotel, homes, workspace, retail and cultural uses, as well as a public square.

Ed Dobbs, Development Manager at Hammerson, said: “These planning applications are integral to our vision for Dublin Central and complements the uses which have already been approved; new homes, hotel, retail spaces and improved streetscape.

“The development will bring significant economic and cultural benefits for the local and wider community, breathing new life into a unique area in Dublin which is important to our history.

“We look forward to submitting further applications for the remainder of the site while we continue to work with all stakeholders.”
