LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
Carrigan's, 72 - 74 Old Kilmainham Road occupies a high profile position on the corner of Brookfield Road and Old Kilmainham Road. The property adjoins DPL DIY Home Improvements Centre and is located opposite a new apartment block at the bottom of Brookfield Road which comprises 79 apartments and was developed by Kavco. The property is conveniently located within 160 metres from the New Children's Hospital and is within a short walking distance to the Hilton Hotel, Kilmainham Gaol, The Royal Hospital Kilmainham, St. Patrick's University Hospital and St. James's Gate Guinness Open Gate Brewery.
There is already a strong precedent for 5 - 6 storey residential blocks in this immediate area and I understand that the new planning regulations may allow for 1 - 2 additional floors Subject to Planning Permission and quality of design.
According to 'Hughes Planning and Development Consultants' most of the adjoining Z6 Zoned lands have been rezoned to allow for residential development (see map below). This could allow for higher density Social Housing and Private Rental Sector developments in this area given the close proximity to public transport.
Given the close proximity to the new Children's Hospital, Kilmainham Gaol, The Royal Hospital Kilmainham, Dublin Zoo, St. James's Gate Guinness Store House and Open Gate Brewery this would also be seen to be a viable site for a new boutique hotel development. There was a feasibility showing how the site may suit an 80 bedroom hotel.
Given the timeline for the completion of the new Childrens Hospital this Co-living development may suit staff working on weekly shifts and visitors to the hospital looking for lower rent accommodation.
We have been informed that the site extends to approximately 0.05 hectares (0.128 acres) and comprises an existing 2 and 3 storey public house of approximately 575 sq.m. (6,189 sq.ft), which has been derelict for a number of years. This high profile corner site can be developed to accommodate a new apartment block or hotel S.P.P. According to Hughes Planning & Development Consultants there is definite potential to apply for planning permission for a new 8 storey 70 - 80 bedroom hotel or Social Housing apartment block comprising approx 35 - 40 apartments SPP.
