An interesting redevelopment opportunity will shortly arise on Usher Street, just off Usher Quay in Dublin 8, when Nigel Kingston of Lambert Smith Hampton offers for sale two adjoining dilapidated buildings – a three-storey warehouse formerly used as a clothing factory and an adjoining house.

With the demand for residential units in the city at an all-time high, there should be considerable competition for the site which has obvious potential for a residential development. A previous planning permission for a five-storey building to accommodate nine apartments and a commercial unit on the ground floor has elapsed. However, city planners can be expected to support a redevelopment of the site.
