About this property

Description

RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY (SUBJECT TO PLANNING PERMISSION) Description: This site with potential for residential development is ideally located on Old Kilmainham, Dublin 8, a historic area steeped in history and tradition and just two kilometres from the city centre. The site offers a unique opportunity to secure a clever planning permission for a multi-unit residential development in a highly desirable area with a growing population. The immediate area has seen recent apartment style housing delivered with successful exits in both the private and affordable sectors. Extending to approximately 800 sqm, the site offers a rare opportunity to combine refined modern architecture with the unique character of one of Dublin’s most historic areas. Location: 18 Old Kilmainham, Dublin 8 occupies a strategic position within one of Dublin’s most consistently sought-after residential districts, located on the western fringe of the city centre and benefitting from sustained regeneration and infrastructure investment. Dublin 8 has evolved into a prime residential investment location, underpinned by its proximity to major employment hubs and ongoing capital projects. The property is within immediate reach of St. James’s Hospital and the new National Children’s Hospital, two of the largest employment anchors in the State. The continued expansion of the healthcare and life sciences sector in this corridor significantly strengthens long-term rental and owner-occupier demand. Connectivity is a key attribute. The LUAS Red Line (Suir Road and Heuston stops) is within walking distance, providing direct access to the city centre, Docklands and IFSC. Heuston Station, one of Dublin’s primary national rail and transport hubs, is also nearby, offering intercity rail, LUAS and extensive bus links. Numerous Dublin Bus routes service the area, ensuring strong public transport accessibility — a critical factor in planning and future occupier demand. The surrounding area has benefited from substantial regeneration, including the transformation of the former industrial and brewery lands at St. James’s Gate (Guinness Quarter) and continued investment in the Heuston Quarter. This regeneration has materially enhanced capital values and rental performance across Dublin 8 in recent years. From an investment perspective, 18 Old Kilmainham offers: • A proven residential location with strong rental demand • Proximity to major employment generators • Established transport infrastructure • Continued regeneration and inward investment • A city-fringe setting attractive to both owner-occupiers and institutional tenants The property presents a compelling opportunity for residential development (subject to planning permission) in a mature and supply-constrained urban location where well-designed schemes have consistently achieved strong absorption and pricing performance.
