Ballymore and Oxley approved for Dublin Connolly Quarter

Ballymore and Oxley have received planning consent to deliver 741 build-to-rent homes at Connolly Quarter in Dublin. An Bord Pleanala approved the plans, which include 75 social homes, for the site adjacent to Connolly Railway Station in Dublin 1. It will see the development of the city’s tallest tower, rising to 23 storeys. Sean Mulryan, founder and group chief executive of Ballymore, said: “At Ballymore, we’re committed to true integration into the communities within which we build. The Connolly Quarter will be no different, and we’ll continue to work closely with the local community as we develop the Connolly Quarter.” The Connolly Quarter masterplan includes two offices, a hotel and more than 20 retail units, with total development floorspace of more than 861,000 sq ft.
