Hotel & Office Permission Granted 

We are delighted to share with you the news that, following An Bord Pleanala’s assessment of the case, planning permission has been granted for the construction of an office and hotel development to be provided in 2 no. blocks at Jacob’s Island.

• The hotel will contain 165 no. bedrooms, meeting rooms, bar/restaurant, cafe and back of house facilities in a 1-storey to 10-storey over basement building.

The hotel is in a key location, its tower announcing the entrance to Jacob’s Island on the N40, and its public amenity (café, lounges and restaurant) providing animation and activity onto a plaza to its southwest and southeast.

• The office building (10,632 sqm GFA) will provide 8,361 sqm net office floor area and ancillary staff facilities over 7 storeys. The office block is designed to maximise the future flexibility of the lease. At the ground floor level, a generous entrance lobby (and a 4-storey high atrium) allows for a controllable single entrance point. This will provide animation along the Avenue.
• This development will accommodate over 1,200 employees and bring increased mixed-use to Jacobs Island.
