Park West Plaza is a unique development and is one of the first large scale conversion projects of office accommodation to residential homes in the country. The former office block, which lay vacant for over 20 years, underwent a major redevelopment which included the conversion of two, four-storey office blocks into a five-storey development with 86 apartments. The office complex, which is now home to more than 200 people from Dublin City Council’s local housing list, is the result of an innovative €26 million office retrofit redevelopment.
The new homes were funded via a mix of Capital Advanced Leasing Facility (CALF) and Capital Assistance Scheme (CAS) funding from the Department of Housing. Private finance was secured through AIB’s Social Investment Fund, which also partly financed a previous development that saw Tuath deliver 83 homes in Clondalkin in November 2020.
