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.

Mann Island of 2011 is unrecognisable from what it was 5 or 6 years ago. The car showroom has gone as has the car park for the old Liverpool Life Museum.
Angular buildings now take prominence on the waterfront next to the 3 Graces. The white X building will be the new Liverpool Life Museum with the black blocks with the glass roof behind being offices and flats. Merseytravel's new HQ is the block at the rear.
The side of the Port of Liverpool Building can be seen to the left.
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

Aerial photographs of Brightwell Lakes, Martlesham, Suffolk, showing the major new housing development taking shape on land immediately south and east of Adastral Park.
Brightwell Lakes is planned as a new community of around 2,000 homes. Outline planning permission was approved in April 2018 and Taylor Wimpey acquired the site in 2021, with construction being brought forward in a series of phases.
Several individual housing developments can be seen taking shape within the wider Brightwell Lakes site. These include Deben Park at Brightwell Lakes and Auster Place at Brightwell Lakes, both being developed by Taylor Wimpey East Anglia, together with Hemingway Rise, a development of new homes by Denbury Homes. Further phases include Brightwell Lakes Parcel W6, where Taylor Wimpey has secured detailed planning approval for another 93 homes.
The first phase of Brightwell Lakes comprised plans for 317 homes split between two areas: 195 homes on the A12 parcel and 122 homes on the Ipswich Road parcel. The scale of the development is particularly apparent from the air, with completed houses, streets under construction, prepared building plots, new roads and large areas of previously agricultural land being opened up for later phases.
Brightwell Lakes is intended to become considerably more than a housing estate. The masterplan includes a new all-through school, community facilities, employment areas, shops and places to eat and drink, sports pitches, allotments, play areas, open space and a network of pedestrian and cycle routes.
Immediately beyond the new housing is Adastral Park, one of the most important telecommunications research sites in Britain. The distinctive main laboratory buildings and communications installations can be seen prominently in these photographs.
The site has a remarkable history. This was once part of RAF Martlesham Heath, an important experimental airfield associated with aircraft and armament testing. The General Post Office acquired part of the former airfield in 1968 for its telecommunications research operation, which moved from Dollis Hill in London. The new Post Office Research Station at Martlesham Heath was formally opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1975.
Following the separation and privatisation of British Telecommunications, the establishment became BT Research Laboratories, later BT Labs. In 1999 the site was renamed Adastral Park, the name recalling the RAF motto Per Ardua ad Astra – “through adversity to the stars”. Today it remains a major centre for telecommunications and technology research.
These aerial views therefore record a particularly interesting stage in the continuing transformation of Martlesham Heath: former military airfield, telecommunications research centre and now the setting for one of Suffolk’s largest new residential communities.

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.
