Clondalkin site for primary care development up for sale with a bonus prospect

By Brendan Grehan

THE sale of a ready-to-go site for the development of a primary care centre and nursing home in a prime location at Clondalkin, also contains the prospect of securing an adjoining site.

Planning permission for the primary care centre and 70-bed nursing home on Convent Road was granted by An Bord Pleanála in 2012 – despite a deluge of objections from local residents concerned about the impact on traffic and proposed height of the development.

Agents Knight Frank are offering the high-profile 1.18 acre site for sale, with best bids due in by Friday, March 10.

Knight Franks also cite a contract in place with the HSE, to acquire an adjoining 0.51 acre site, which will be subject to terms and conditions.

The site is located at the junction of Convent Road (formerly Boot Road) and Fonthill Road South, close to Clondalkin Village and Newlands Cross.

Currently located on the site is a two-storey, mixed-use building, housing office and retail accommodation and a detached house.

An Bord Pleanála granted permission for the demolition of all structures on site and for the construction of a 70-bed nursing home and a 3,249 sq m primary care centre to include a pharmacy, café and GP suites.

Furthermore, there is an agreement to lease in place with the HSE on approximately 28,000 sq ft of the proposed primary care centre at an attractive rent.
