Ireland: Developer Tetrarch Residential has submitted plans for a 108-unit senior living apartment scheme on a plot next to Blackrock College rugby club in south Dublin.
The €50 million proposed rental scheme will replace Stradbrook House, a vacant two-storey office building which is to be demolished.
In the strategic housing development application lodged directly with An Bord Pleanála a planning report by Tom Phillips & Associates says the senior living “support model makes it possible to defer or eliminate the need for a nursing home and to avoid much of the cost associated with such care”.
Amenities in the proposal include a multipurpose social space, a games room, breakout spaces and a TV/cinema room.
“The permitted development will provide much-needed residential development at these zoned lands,” said Stephen Barrett, a director at Tom Phillips & Associates.
Agents Savills said the scheme would create 45 jobs on- and off-site when operational. A decision on the application is due in November.
