Summary:
- Planning permission has been granted to demolish two Limerick businesses, A&R Supplies and Spirit Memorials, to develop a 17-apartment purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) building offering 115 bed spaces near Limerick School of Art and Design’s Clare Street campus.
- The new multi-storey development will include 3,309 sq metres of floor space, private open areas, 96 bicycle spaces, communal facilities, and a green roof, with design features aimed at improving pedestrian safety and urban realm along Pennywell Road and Old Clare Street.
- The project aligns with broader local educational infrastructure growth, following recent approval for the Technological University of the Shannon’s Forge Design Factory nearby, supporting Limerick’s expanding student and creative sectors.
