The part 52-, part 32-storey building designed by Morris+Company will comprise new homes will be ranging in size from studios to four bedrooms within a single building of distinct design. The building will also feature a gym, cycle storage and communal spaces, including a sky lounge, for residents.

The site will include 97sq m of flexible public retail space on the ground floor as well as a new 18,000sq ft publicly accessible park to the front of the building.

Simon Ryan, Projects Director at Ballymore commented: “We are incredibly excited to see progress around our Cuba Street application. Our plans, if fully approved, will enable us to create a striking new building that is both distinctive from, and complementary to, the existing area. It will create a substantial number of much-needed new homes and bring significant improvements to the surrounding public realm, including half of the site providing a large new garden square for both residents and locals to enjoy.”
