THIS HAS BEEN AN EYESORE FOR DECADES
THE TRIANGLE BOUNDED BY RYDERS ROW, CAPEL STREET AND PARNELL STREET [AN EYESORE FOR DECADES]
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 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.
