Summary:
- CR Renaissance Properties Ltd has submitted plans for nearly 200 purpose-built student accommodation bedspaces at the rear of the old ACC Bank site on Upper Main Street, Letterkenny, addressing a critical local housing shortage linked to rising student numbers at ATU Donegal.
- The proposed development features two connected blocks with direct access via a new pedestrian link between Justice Walsh car park and Main Street, incorporating communal art exhibition space and public seating, enhancing both student living and public realm.
- The site, historically a bank building dating back to the early 20th century, will include diverse apartment configurations, facility management spaces, and infrastructure upgrades, positioning it within walking distance of key ATU Donegal campuses and supporting sustainable student access.
