HIGH PROFILE DEVELOPMENT SITE WITH FPP FOR 8 APARTMENTS Folio Number: DN226782F                                            BER Exempt A unique opportunity to purchase a high profile residential development site with Full Planning Permission for 8 apartments located directly opposite Phibsborough Library close to Doyle's Corner in the heart of Phibsborough. This 4 storey over lower ground floor infill city centre residential development has been cleverly designed by Darmody Architects to fit into this sloped site with 3 elevations and windows overlooking Phibsborough Library, the Volunteers Statue and Royal Canal Bank public park. According to Darmody Architects there is potential to tweak the current planning permission to remove the commercial unit. LOCATION 378a North Circular Road occupies a very high-profile landmark position close to the corner of Phibsborough Road, to the southeast of the famous Doyles Corner junction, right in the heart of Phibsborough, and only 1.2 kilometres from OConnell Street. This apartment site is conveniently located overlooking the Royal Canal Bank public park directly opposite a new development at 378 North Circular Road that comprises a LIDL supermarket with 72 apartments overhead and adjoins the Old Bank Building and Borgo restaurant on the corner of Phibsborough Road. This is one of the main arterial roads coming into Dublin city centre from the Navan Road as well as the suburbs Glasnevin/Finglas and north county Dublin. There is a huge volume of traffic passing and a very regular bus and public transport serving this extremely busy junction daily on a daily basis. Tenants renting the finished apartments will have a very short commute from Phibsborough into Dublin City Centre and the IFSC. The area is very well serviced by public transport and the subject property is located less than 500 metres walking distance from Phibsborough LUAS station. There are a host of buses serving Doyles Corner, including numbers 4, 9, 38, 38a, 38b, 38d, 46a,81, 83, 83a,120,140 and 814. 378a North Circular Road is less than 150 metres from Phibsborough Shopping Centre, which was sold to Twinlight and is currently in revised planning for a new shopping centre and civic plaza linking to Dalymount Park and 297 co-living units. We understand that DCC are also redeveloping Dalymount Park (home to Bohemian FC) into a new UEFA category three football stadium, which should be able to hold larger football games and events. In addition to Phibsborough Shopping Centre there are a host of shops, offices, cafes and pubs serving the Phibsborough Road immediate area. The property is also a short walking distance from 3 large national hospitals - the Mater Hospital, Temple Street, Rotunda and TUI Grangegorman University Campus which is home to approximately 22,000 students and staff. The LUAS extension and TUI Grangegorman has had a very positive impact on this part of town and the Dublin 1 and 7 area, with a strong growth in demand for residential properties in the area and spin off business with the arrival of several new cafés, restaurants and retail offerings in the area. Recent hospitality additions to the area include the award winning Bogo Italian restaurant in the Old Bank Building, Doyles Corner Pub and music venue (reopened by Gavin James, Bunsen Burger, 3FE, Two Boys Brew to name a few. Phibsborough has been highlighted by Time Out and some other international publications as being one of the best places to live. 378a North Circular Road is a short walking distance of 450 meters along Royal Canal Bank from the Blessington Street Basin and gardens that provide a unique man made lake and park in the north city centre. DESCRIPTION This high profile residential development site is located directly opposite Phibsborough Library and has full planning permission for a new apartment development comprising a lower ground floor commercial unit and 8 individual apartments overhead of approximately 436 sq.m. – 2 x 3 bedrooms apartments, 1 x 2 bedroom apartment, 5 x 1 bedroom apartments.
