Dublin Docklands spreads Southeast

This was tucked into the back of the property section of the Irish Times today. Seems to be a huge development (maybe bigger than the John Player development?), so I was suprised that there was not more publicity and hype about it.

It is hard to figure out if this is included in the particular zoning of the glass factory or not, but it would seem to be the case. Therefore it is zoned Z14 “To seek the social, economic and physical development or rejuvenation of an area with mixed use of which residential and “z6′ would be the predominant uses.” Z6 is indicated as “To provide for the creation and protection of enterprise and facilitate opportunities for employment creation.” http://www.dublincity.ie/shaping_the_city/future_planning/development_plan/Maps/mapfset.pdf
