A Dublin property developer is planning a major apartment, hotel and office development on Santry Demesne in Dublin 9, writes Jack Fagan, Property Editor.

Woodford Developments, a company controlled by Mr Bill Kilmurray, has lodged a planning application for 1,100 apartments, a 45,000 sq ft amenity centre, 855,000 sq ft of offices and a multi-storey car park to accommodate 1,000 cars. The development will also include a 98-bedroom hotel and conference centre.

In return for planning permission, Woodford has offered to develop a 72-acre park on the 170 acre demense which was rezoned for development earlier this year by Fingal Co Council.
