View answerThe Regeneration Project in Dominick Street, Dublin 1 is a social housing construction project of 72 social housing homes, with community facilities and retail/commercial development at ground level. The project is a high priority for Dublin City Council and the development will make a significant contribution to the regeneration of this area in the heart of the city.
The City Council received approval to commence the tender process for Dominick Street in February 2018. The first stage of the tender process has closed and applications are currently being assessed. When this process has concluded, the City Council will progress immediately to the second stage of the tender process. The timeline for submission of the tender recommendations to the Department is May/June 2018. Pending approval from the Department, the estimated start date on site is September 2018. The project will take approximately 24 months to build with completion expected in Quarter 3 2020.
