Summary:
- Stormborn Capital Acquisition Three Limited has submitted a six-year planning application to refurbish and extend Phibsborough Tower into a nine-storey, 150-bedroom hotel, alongside a five- to nine-storey purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) scheme with 411 bedspaces at Phibsborough Shopping Centre and adjacent lands in Dublin 7.
- The mixed-use regeneration plan includes three blocks, featuring residential, retail, and restaurant spaces, plus a significant public realm strategy with a new civic plaza and pedestrian route connecting Phibsborough Road and North Circular Road, supporting the redevelopment of Dalymount Park and enhancing the area’s urban role.
- The proposal addresses an underutilised brownfield site with outdated retail and surface parking, adding 150 hotel rooms to a market with limited existing supply, and aims to boost housing, economic activity, and sustainable transport integration; a planning decision is expected in June.
