NEW HOTEL ON PARNELL STREET AN THE CAPEL STREET END
DEMOLITION WORK IS ONGOING ON PARNELL STREET [A NEW HOTEL WILL BE LOCATED HERE]
Demolition and construction are underway on Parnell Street, Dublin 1, where a new hotel development is planned. This project involves significant alterations to several existing structures, including a protected structure at No. 3 Parnell Street (RPS Ref. 6422), and will extend to include Nos. 4, 5, and 6 Parnell Street, No. 57a Jervis Lane Upper, and Nos. 58 and 59 Capel Street, which back onto Jervis Lane Upper.
The development will consist of:
Demolition of No. 57a Jervis Lane Upper and the existing single-storey structures at Nos. 4-6 Parnell Street.
Demolition of Nos. 58 and 59 Capel Street, with the exception of the west-facing facades, the shared party wall, and the original internal structure of No. 58.
Refurbishment of the west-facing facades of Nos. 58 and 59 Capel Street to their original state, including cleaning and re-pointing the existing brickwork, and installing new traditional-style timber windows to replace existing non-original windows.
Replacement shopfronts, with associated lighting and signage, will be provided for Nos. 58 and 59 Capel Street.
Internal and external alterations to the three-storey over basement building at No. 3 Parnell Street (a protected structure) to accommodate the new hotel. This includes cleaning and re-pointing the original brickwork, installing new traditional-style timber windows in existing openings on the north-facing facade, retaining and refurbishing the existing chimney stack, and partially removing internal partitions/walls to facilitate the reconfiguration of the ground, first, and second floors. This will enable the creation of an entrance foyer/lobby, bedrooms, and a connection (including a new feature atrium to the rear) to the new hotel development.
Replacement shopfronts will also be installed at No. 3 Parnell Street.
The Ryder's Row Triangle, bordered by Ryder's Row, Capel Street, and Parnell Street, has historically suffered from urban decay and anti-social behaviour. This decline is attributed to a combination of factors:
Historical Context: The area experienced the broader economic decline of Dublin's inner city during the latter half of the 20th century, leading to business closures and property dilapidation. Fragmented property ownership further complicated redevelopment efforts.
Economic Factors: The growth of suburban shopping centres and online retail impacted traditional high street shops, resulting in increased vacancy and neglect.
Social Factors: Derelict buildings and vacant spaces attracted anti-social behaviour, creating a negative perception and hindering investment.
The presence of the Dutch Billy house (a protected structure) on Capel Street and a previously uncooperative bicycle yard on Ryder's Row presented significant obstacles to comprehensive regeneration.
The Dublin City Council's response has been criticised for its slow pace, potentially due to:
Lack of political will.
Financial constraints.
Legal challenges from property owners.
Recent developments include the relocation of the bicycle yard and the creation of a pocket park. However, the derelict buildings on Parnell Street remain a concern.
While various redevelopment proposals have been made, concrete plans for the wider Ryder's Row Triangle are still pending.
The ongoing construction at No. 3 Parnell Street, across from the triangle, is a mixed-use development featuring a four-star hotel (approximately 150 rooms), retail space (shops and restaurants), and residential apartments (one and two-bedroom units). The project will also include a public plaza and a rooftop terrace. This development aims to contribute to the revitalisation of the area and create new jobs. Previous estimations of a 2025 completion date are optimistic, and it is likely to continue past this date.
