Challenge of Poddle overcome

Dublins old city walls and the Poddle River are some of the challenges which Dublin Corporation is taking on with its plans for a new five storey office development adjacent to No 1 Werburgh St. in Dublin.

“Private developers weren’t interested in the site because of these difficulties,” a spokesperson for the Corporation explained.

We were also concerned that any development should allow access to the wall for tourists and the public, and that the design should be in keeping with the historic character of the area.”

When the offices, which are near Dublin Castle, are completed the Corporation will consider leasing the space to the commercial or other tenants.
