The proposed development, which is set to be over 24,000 sq m in size, will incorporate 266 residential units, a creche and an office enterprise centre.

New-build residential accommodation will include a mix of townhouses (46), duplex townhouses (54), duplex apartments (54) and walk-up apartments (52).

The former St Kevin’s Hospital itself is set to be stabilised, conserved and renovated to provide a further 60 apartments.

The former hospital will be renovated to house the creche, while the former chapel building will host the new Office Enterprise centre.
