Building work is well under way, with most units due to be ready in the next couple of months.

On the corner of Cork Street and Ardee Street, Brabazon Hall is about 10 minutes walk from Stephen's Green. This is just one of several new apartment schemes on Cork Street, an old area which has been almost completely rebuilt in the past year.

The general area has undergone a massive regeneration programme over the last five years, including the development of the new Coombe bypass. New shops, creches and local facilities have opened on Cork Street, while the nearby Crumlin Shopping centre is also set to be redeveloped.

A short walk from the National College of Art & Design, the Guinness Brewery, Christchurch and the citycentre, this is a strong letting area.

Brabazon Hall is a contemporary building designed by architects Horan Keogan Ryan. In total there are 76 units on-site comprising a mix of one and two-bed apartments and two-bed duplexes.

One-beds range in size from 49 to 56sq m (525 to 600sq ft), while two-beds are between 65 and 70sq m (700 to 750sq ft). Also available are some two-bed duplexes ranging in size from 78 to 82sq m (850 to 890sq ft).

Accommodation in all apartments includes a hall, kitchen, living/dining area, bedrooms and bathrooms. Large windows are in place to ensure good natural light, and all units come with fitted kitchens with ceramic floor tiling, and integrated appliances.

Other standard features include Italian-designed bathrooms and en-suites with ceramic wall and floor tiling, thermostatically-controlled showers, chrome fittings and granite top vanity units.

Recessed lighted is fitted throughout, while all livingrooms and main bedrooms have digital connections.

To the rear of the building there is a landscaped courtyard, and a communal rooftop garden is accessible to all residents.

Price: one-beds from 320,000, two-beds from 355,000, and twobed duplexes from 395,000.
