Re: Corbett Bros’ Copley Street Development

Coffey Construction are putting the final touches to their €20m Copley Street development designed by PRC Architects. The project includes 85 (incl. student extension) basement car-parking spaces, 60,000sq ft of Third Generation office space and 38 mixed apartments in 2 linked 5-storey buildings over commercial facilities to include a gym and restuarant. The developers are also proceeding with an adjoining development on Stable Lane of 8 student apartments over extended basement and retail unit. The Copley Street site was purchased in 2001 by Corbett Bros’ Michael & Kevin from Irish Interational Trading Corp. for €5m – they also purchased a further site from the company on the South City Link nearby for €2m where plans for a 266 room student development were turned down, a new application will be sought for that site in the prospective future.

The developers also have activity (in conjunction with Monagahan-based Pitwood Ltd) at Beasely Street/Parnell Place for a new 121-bedroom hotel (which recently saw Further Info submitted) and may seek a new scheme at their Henry Street site. A further large-scale city development is currently under review.
