Block 11C - Corner site of Hanover Street East and Lime Street.
The property is zoned Z14 “to seek the social, economic and physical development and/or rejuvenation of an area with mixed use of which residential and 'Z6' would be the predominant uses”.

The outline development assessments prepared by the vendors planning consultants and architects, John Spain & Associates and Henry J. Lyons Architects respectively, are available in the DATA Room.
In relation to the commercial element they suggest an outline total development capacity of 16,030 sqm gross internal area for commercial use with an overall height of 5 storeys and including the protected structure. This has the possibility of an additional set back storey. There is also a possibility to increase this to 8 storeys along Sir John Rogerson’s Quay subject to design criteria to safeguard the character of the adjoining protected structure. On the residential element the outline capacity appraisal schematic indicates a gross internal area of 13,380 sqm or approx 150-160 units with Block 11A having an overall height of 6 storeys, with the possibility of an additional set-back storey, while Block 11C units have an overall height of 5 storeys also with the possibility of a further set-back storey.
Depending on the specific design of any future scheme, there may be potential for an additional 5% of commercial space giving a 55% : 45% commercial : residential land mix use (subject to planning permission).
