PLANNING approval has been granted for the construction of 25 Build-To-Rent (BTR) apartments in a Limerick City suburb.
Maurice O’Connor and Charles Hanley applied to Limerick City and County Council for permission to demolish an existing two-storey retail building at the Shannonside Kitchens site on St Nessan’s Road in Dooradoyle and replace it with a mixed-use development.
Permission has been granted for a new five-storey mixed use development with a ground floor retail unit, with the upper floors to be used as BTR apartments.
The development will include four studio apartments, ten one-bedroom apartments, and eleven two-beds. Each apartment will also have private balconies.
The upper floors of the unit will have communal use spaces for residents, with secure bike storage on the ground floor.
The site will also have an ESB sub-station, ancillary utility/services rooms, secure bin storage area, public lighting, car parking, connections to utilities, and all associated engineering and site works.
