NEW YORK: The thirtieth entry for the seniors housing Global Awards 2017 has been received.
Dublin City Council (DCC) has recently released its draft plan for the development of the Poolbeg West, Strategic Development Zone (SDZ), the 34-hectare area which includes the Irish Glass Bottle (IGB) factory site.
Implementation of the plan envisages 3,000 homes built in blocks of up to 50 metres in height, with some 100,000 square metres of commercial and retail space that, it is claimed, would accommodate 8,000 jobs.
A primary school, childcare facilities and outdoor playgrounds are provided under the multigenerational plan, and it would “seek to ensure that developments in Poolbeg West contribute to the 5% allocation of space in the docklands area to be used for social, cultural, creative and artistic purposes.”
