€750m Arnotts development gets green light

HKR Architects has announced that it has received planning permission for the €750 million Arnotts regeneration project - The Northern Quarter Project - around the centre of Dublin.

The project incorporates the area of Dublin city centre which is bounded by Henry Street, O'Connell Street, Abbey Street and Liffey Street and is a mixed-use urban development that will integrate retail, residential, leisure and hotel and spa facilities.

The plan - led by Arnotts Department Store - includes the transformation of the Northern Quarter of Dublin and the regeneration of Prince's Street to a fully-engaged urban street and pedestrian thoroughfare. This is intended to become Dublin's premier shopping street, incorporating a new public square at the centre, according to the architects.

A major element of the development is the inclusion of 189 apartments. "These will act as a catalyst for further residential development in the heart of the city" stated HKR.
