Webinar: Reviving the Heart of Dublin: The Future of O’Connell Street

This event has ended

Online, Thursday 1st April

Join Dublin Chamber on April 1st to hear about the latest transformative plans to revive the heart of North Dublin City. While our streets are quiet due to Covid, all eyes are on Hammerson plc. The international real estate company is about to lodge its planning application for redevelopment of one of the most high-profile sites in the capital city, and is ready to share the details with Dublin Chamber members.

The six-acre Dublin Central development project embracing the Carlton site, Upper O Connell Street, Parnell Street and Moore Street promises to bring an additional six million of footfall a year to this area of Dublin city centre. Ed Dobbs, Development Manager for the project for European property group Hammerson, will give Chamber members the very latest update on the plans, tell us about the role of the Metro in the scheme, and plans to minimise disruption to the city during the building and development process. His presentation will be followed by an opportunity for Q&A.
