The scheme will also include a ground-floor cafe, private rooftop terraces, 170 bike spaces and 48 car-parking spaces.

While the new building derives its name from the site’s origin as the St Michael Le Pole church, the scheme’s immediate surrounds remain steeped in history thanks to the commanding presence of neighbouring Dublin Castle and the nearby St Patrick’s Cathedral.

In terms of its accessibility, One Le Pole Square will be located within a short walk of numerous Dublin Bus routes on both George’s Street and Dame Street.
