An application has been made for 1,614 units at the Holy Cross College site off Clonliffe Road.

The case reference number is 310860.
This is a Build to Rent apartment scheme i.e. no apartments will be sold from the development save for the 160 units sold to Dublin City Council under Part V legislation.
12 residential buildings
A crèche (627 sq.m), one retail unit (329 sq.m ), café (273 sq.m)
Under Part V legislation Dublin City Council has indicated its preferred option is to acquire units on site. 160 units in total which is all of Blocks A2 and A3.
(I appreciate that those total to 161 units but that is what is in the plan)
The estimated cost Dublin City Council will pay for those units is over €61m.
