Plans submitted for 10-storey Greenhills apartment building
PLANS for a new part 10-storey 99-apartment building on Greenhills Road in Walkinstown have been submitted.
The plans located at the site of Concrete Pumping Ltd on Greenhills Road include the demolition of all existing industrial and warehouse structures, sized at 579.1sqm, on site as well as associated site clearance works and the erection of a part six-storey, part seven-storey, part 10-storey building to house 99 new apartments in the area, comprising of 49 one-beds and 50 two-beds.
The project would be one of the largest in height within the local area, with other recent 10-storey plans in the area including Belgard Gardens in Tallaght, and Southwest Gate in Walkinstown matching its ambition.
Virginia Hall in Belgard reaches up to 12 storeys, with 11 floors for residential use.
The inclusion of the 99-apartment development on Greenhills would be another standout for the local area – the council tends to permit smaller developments at around five or six stories, going big on rare occasions.
The Greenhills Road apartments are located to the south of the road towards the Walkinstown end, south east of the Walkinstown roundabout.
