This article examines the history and fate of several derelict properties in Dublin, showcasing the challenges and opportunities associated with urban regeneration.
This article explores various derelict properties in Dublin, highlighting their history, previous development proposals, and current status. It focuses on three distinct locations: Sandwith Street, Townsend Street and Lombard Street, and College Street. The Sandwith Street block, while boasting visible Victorian red brick houses, hides a larger area of derelict industrial units and houses.
This area has seen numerous attempts at redevelopment, including a proposed hotel complex that was ultimately rejected. The council's own plans to demolish and rebuild on the site are also underway. The Townsend Street and Lombard Street complex, once a trio of pubs and a chipper, has endured various demolition and redevelopment proposals since its closure decades ago. After a period of stagnation, the site was recently sold and is awaiting planning permission for a new development. The College Street Yeast Company building, a historical relic serving Dublin's bakers and brewers for over a century, has faced several attempts to repurpose it, including plans to convert it into a pub extension, a cafe/bar, and apartments. While initial applications were rejected, the final plan to transform the building into a cafe/bar and reception area with apartments was ultimately approved by An Bord Pleanála
