The finishing touches are being added to this new block within the Baltic Quarter. This is Norfolk House (Phase 1) by Elliott Group. The plan is to develop more plots on Norfolk Street between here and Chaloner Street. Similar residential developments have been taking hold in the Baltic, a true sign that the city centre population is on the rise.
The St George Pub was demolished during March 2018. It is envisaged that the site will be used for housing. You can see new properties now occupy the site of the old Job Centre which stood on the plot next door.
There have been no real changes since my last visit.
The complex is located close to Heuston Railway Station which includes a Luas tram stop. It is also very close to the Luas which runs down Steevens' Lane along-side the old Dr Steevens' Hospital.
Here is a quote dating from nine years ago “In 2005, the partnership paid €79 million for the 8.2-acre site. When the entire range of facilities are completed in 2011 it is expected to have an end value of almost 10 times the purchase price.” [Irish Times Wed, Apr,2008,01:00]. I very much doubt that you would have to pay €790 million if you wanted to buy the complex today but is is frequently referred to as a €600 million development. However, as another property boom is underway it could well well worth a billion be year end.
According to the official description the €600 million Heuston South Quarter [HSQ], set on a former quarry, overlooks the Royal Hospital but I would be more inclined to say that it is overlooked by the Royal Hospital. The complex incorporates over 92,900sq m of floor area including retail, offices, a four to five-star hotel, leisure centre, gym, restaurants, and a crèche. To the best of my knowledge the first 350 apartments have been completed. I must admit that I did not notice the hotel. I should mention that I have some friends who live here and they are really like it … I could be wrong but they are buying their apartments through some sort of rent to buy scheme.
The area was identified by Dublin City Council as one of the most important development zones for the future of Dublin and therefore formulated Heuston Regeneration Strategy to stimulate and control this growth. The stated aim was to develop a modern and dynamic western entrance to Dublin city centre.
Designed by a team led by Anthony Reddy Architects, the development was originally called ‘Westgate’ because it is strategically located as the new western entrance to Dublin city centre. At some stage it was rebranded as the HSQ.
The Charlemont Square project is due to be completed in 2020. This mixed-use development is the second phase of a city centre regeneration project.
My understanding is that there will be a total 79 social housing units.There will also be 184 private residential units, bringing to 263 the total number of homes in the complex, in addition to significant commercial office space and retail units.
Earlier in the year it was reported that Amazon had made an offer to developer Sean Reilly to lease the entire 200,000 sq ft of office space currently being developed.

The alignment of Granton Road is pretty much still there, albeit wider.
Building is occuring in stages, but on the whole progress is being made.
I was sceptical of what the plans would be for this part of Anfield...although retention of some of the houses would have been great, the devlepment so far is not as bad as it could have been...what do you think?
There is a lot of development in Bournemouth at the moment. This is the new Hilton Hotel on Terrace Road, which is nearing completion

New world. Old World
Brand new houses stand on a new road in Liverpool...Lybro Way. Reminding us of the Lybro works that stood not far from here on Mount Vernon, Lybro Way is part of the new Edge Hill which has risen from wastelands of demolition. This road actually occupies the land which was open space between Dorothy and Thorburn Streets.
The derelict terrace in the background is the remains of Dorothy Street....now renamed Dorothy Drive.
There is a mixture of new houses in the area now, I just wish they could have been more aesthetically inspiring...furthermore I also wish there were proper pavements!
Derelict land, part of the old Maternity Hospital, is now being created into a housing estate. It's good to see this tract of land being regenerated!
In the background is The Grapes pub on the corner of Margaret Street. Grant Gardens is off to the left.
The Victorian streetscene of Kensington to the left is of complete contrast to the new development to the right. The new flats and apartments replace the Halfway House Pub on the corner of Gilead Street and several derelict retail units. The development extends backwards over land which was formerly occupied by Holdsworth Street, this had long since been cleared before the work on the new development started.
