DEVELOPERS INCLUDING BAD bank Nama could start building on a €450 million revamp of Dublin’s southern docklands early next year.
A consortium including the state agency, US investment fund Oaktree Capital and Irish developers the Bennett Group have lodged plans with Dublin City Council for the 42,500 sqm office and residential project.
It is the largest lodged for the docks district since it was turned into a “strategic development zone” – opening up the site for fast-track planning permission.
In a statement today, the syndicate said construction on the project could start in the first 3 months of next year subject to council approval.
When finished the development would house up to 2,400 works and include 158 apartments.
The project includes the redevelopment of two properties:
The bulk of the development will be at the Hanover Quay site, where 18,000 sqm of office space and 100 apartments, as well as cafés and shops, were planned.

Meanwhile, the consortium said work was due to start next week on another of its projects at 6-8 Hanover Quay for another 4,600 sqm of office space.
“When completed, the building will accommodate 300 staff in the flagship European headquarters of a major U.S.-based corporation,” it said.
The identity of the multinational would be revealed “in due course”.
The site is a few doors down from where U2 recently bought the riverfront studio site where they recorded many of their top-selling albums from the Dublin Docklands Development Authority for €450,000.
Nama chief executive Brendan McDonagh said the latest application built on the progress the agency had made in the docklands area following its plans for Boland’s Mill put forward last week.
He said it was one of 15 sites around the docks in which it had an interest and Nama looked forward to announcing more progress in the district next year.
McDonagh previously told an Oireachtas committee that over 93% of the assets Nama has sold off so far have gone to offshore buyers.
The agency expects to wind up completely by early 2017 and to deliver a profit of up to €500 million when finished.

They should keep off those porn sites, nothing but trouble………..
You seem to be very familiar with those sites!
I was until I caught a virus……..
its those genuine girls in your area who always trick you
Better to get a virus from the promiscuous ladies on your computer than a virus from the promiscuous lady on the street
Was it blue flu?
I thought the same Sean?
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I have Chlamydia,
now you have too……
Swine flu, no?
No point catching the virus, he will get suspended sentence. They need to eliminate it completely.
The virus had 142 previous infections, but was a mutation from a troubled virus.
Hahaha
I’m not confident in the integrity of the security of Garda IT systems.
Rumour has it the virus refused to start working unless it got a pay rise
It was the blue flu virus.
I’ve long suspected that Garda Management have been infected by malware planted by the Government that affects their ability to represent the best interests of the force, and of the public and allows them sit idly by and let their numbers, resources & morale be decimated- telling us all the while that they are adequately resourced.
Our police force is unfit for purpose. A shower of scruffy, unwashed money grabbers. A national embarrassment
Was in a shop last week, when a female police officer was buying a breakfast roll. Christ her tie was still covered from yolk from her previous roll. Her hair was u kept, trousers looked like she’s slept in them, and her shoes looked like they’d been lying in a big. Disgusting
You really are the biggest tool who posts on the Journal. You should invest some of that spare time in learning the English language.
Are you one of that disgusting police force Martie?
Maybe she spent her night dealing with calls from your filthy riff raff housing estate.
Nothing like a girl in uniform, then add a breakfast roll into the equation. Happy Days!
God no! I don’t live in a housing estate. I only voice my opinion on the state of our police force. No one can deny how scruffy and uninterested they are! It’s all well and good to be patriotic, but some things have to be said.
Dirtbag
Waster
Tell us how you really feel John……..
Even the computers are infected along with everything else in the AGS
So Gardai are claiming they found a Zero day? If so, that is really good cyber Forensics work on their part!
I highly doubt it was their detection, more likely something triggered them to bring in a third party to analyse the affected system.
No doubt there will be rumbles of “well maybe we should update to Win 10″ now that it’s no longer free
You couldn’t update from xp which the gardai use.
It wasn’t free for commercial companies to upgrade and if they did upgrade they could be in for some fines if a Microsoft audit ever takes place.
Good aul An Garda Siochana and their Windows Millennium Edition…what hacker would want to write code to infect their outdated systems
Somebody opening those penis enlargement emails.
How else are the guards supposed to download Taylor Swift, after she deleted from Spotify.
Keep taking the ‘tablets’!!!!
Have the ex TD’s given the tablets back yet?
If you’ve been hacked you’ll never know it. unless the inch hacked are released to the public media.

Probably using free AV software
They might have found info on ambassadors and politicians selling Irish passports. They may even have people apply and then look after their application.
Garda.ie is being redesigned, finally!
With all the Garda cutbacks and underfunding, it’s more ‘Heartbeat’ than PULSE. I’d really hate to think anything bad happened to the Operation Mizen files though..
Hope pulse doesn’t spit out all those speeding fines, Especially the supers.
…….
Malwarebytes.
Do the guards actually have a clue these days when it comes to computers? I remember back in the day. The internet a playground for the mischievous and the guards barely knew what a computer was.
Yeah the virus is called the blue flu!
have your say
