The New London Awards 2018, recognising the very best new and proposed architecture, planning and development in the capital.
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.

This campus is currently being developed and the project is somewhat behind schedule.
The Central & East Quads for the DIT Grangegorman campus will accommodate academic activities and facilities required for a total of ten schools from the College of Sciences & Health, College of Engineering & Built Environment and the College of Arts & Tourism. These schools and their associated academic, teaching and specialist facilities will be grouped within the Central Quad to maximise the benefits and efficiencies to DIT from locating together related disciplines and functions.
A building on Slater Street undergoing renovation. This is a scene repeated many times across the city these days’s as it becomes evermore trendy to have a hand in Liverpool’s property industry. This is best repeated in the City Centre but the suburbs are also getting some treatment off the property developers too.

In the heart of the South of Market area, 829 Folsom is centrally located. Enjoy luxury living conveniently located to dining entertainment, shopping, public transportation and freeway on-ramps.
Select homes at 829 Folsom offer private outdoor terraces. There is also a rooftop terrace and owner's entertainment lounge.
“The development, which is bounded by water on two sides, places a significant emphasis on public space with a new 1.5-acre landscaped public park and square, designated cultural space and a significant retail/leisure offering.”
Every developer promises lots of public space in order to get planning permission but it is often the case that they fail to deliver or if they do the space turns out to be a POPS[Privately Owned Public Space] which is so restricted that it is nothing more than a pretend ‘public space’.
Delivery of the office element of the scheme is expected by Q4 2017 with the residential element is due for completion sometime in 2018.

Say no to new development, be a NIMBY in WA4.
Not everyone likes development and green belt a difficult one. We all need homes, so do our families. New homes need good planned infrastructure and some at least must be affordable for locals. New industry needs adequate planning too.
On balance the rushed local planning here seems badly thought through on many levels. No surprise there is local opposition. See also www.flickr.com/photos/167831053@N02/45803304711
