Ventaway, a company headed up by developer David Kennan and Winthrop engineering group founder Barry English, is seeking planning permission to develop Dublin’s tallest building on the site of the former City Arts Centre at City Quay.
While the proposed City Arts Centre scheme is office-led with 22,587sq m of office space over 23 of its floors, the site’s history will be recognised with 1,404sq m of artist studios/workshops and exhibition/performance space distributed across the front of the building at its lower-ground, ground and first-floor levels.
Although the provisions of the George’s Quay local area plan , which applied until July 2022, had limited building heights to between six and nine storeys on the site, Ventaway is seeking permission for a higher structure by referring to the urban development and building heights guidelines for planning authorities issued by former minister for housing Eoghan Murphy in December 2018.
In a “tall buildings statement” included as part of its planning application, the developer points to the scale of two other major developments approved in the surrounding area over recent years.
Rise to 10m? What is this, a building for ants? It needs to be at least three times that size.
fingers crossed it passes 🤞🏻
The plans look stunning. Can't wait. Get it built!
So it is to be a Hub for Art and Culture like Temple Bar...and not a blot on the Skyscape?
Looks amazing. Let’s hope the usual suspects don’t block it.
Good. We need to build up.
Wait until locals object, saying it’s too tall. They have properly planned for 12 stories so doubled it.
