Description

** ON-LINE AUCTION - THURSDAY 17th DECEMBER 2026 AT 3:00PM ** Link Below to Register : https://maxwellheaslipleonard.dngauctions.ie/lot/details/d16a5ed6-1258-4483-aab2-607fc338d319? "Spire House" represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire and rejuvenate a substantial period property on Shantalla Road, one of Galway City's most established and convenient residential locations. Occupying a prominent site, this distinctive three-storey landmark property is positioned within walking distance of University Hospital Galway, the University of Galway and the city centre. The existing building extends to approximately 486m2 and retains the scale, character and architectural presence associated with a landmark period residence. While the property now requires considerable renovation and is a protected structure, it offers significant potential for a developer seeking a distinctive residential refurbishment project in a proven urban location. Of particular importance, full planning permission has been granted for the conversion and internal reconfiguration of the existing building to provide ten self-contained apartments. The approved scheme creates an opportunity to bring the building back into beneficial use while conserving the property's architectural significance. Subject to compliance with the relevant planning conditions and conservation requirements, the project would allow for the sensitive upgrading and modernisation of the building to meet contemporary residential standards. Its refurbishment provides the opportunity to preserve important period features and enhance the building's established contribution to the streetscape. At the same time, the permitted internal reconfiguration offers the potential to create an attractive collection of individual apartments within a building of genuine character. The location further strengthens the property's development potential. Shantalla is a mature residential suburb immediately west of Galway city centre, with excellent access to Newcastle Road, Rahoon Road, Seamus Quirke Road and the wider city road network. Local amenities include shops, schools, medical services, cafes, recreational facilities and public transport. University Hospital Galway and the University of Galway are nearby, supporting consistent demand for residential accommodation from healthcare professionals, university personnel and the wider urban population. Spire House offers an increasingly rare opportunity to deliver ten much-needed residential units in central Galway, close to the hospital and University. With planning permission secured, substantial existing floor area and an excellent location, the property should appeal to developers and investors seeking a project with strong long-term potential.
