This area has been comprehensively regenerated in the past two years, with demand for apartments strong from both first-time buyers and investors because it is so close to so many city amenities.

It's near Christchurch, the Guinness Brewery, Vicar Street and the Liberties, while St Stephen's Green, Temple Bar and Heuston Station are also very convenient.

This up-and-coming area is also well served by public transport, with a Luas stop at St James's Hospital and a good selection of bus routes.

Inside, the apartments have an open-plan kitchen/dining living area. There are fitted kitchens but appliances do not come as standard. The larger apartments have two double bedrooms and bathroom but there are no en-suites. At the entrance hall, there is a hotpress and separate storage area.

Recent developments by Danninger include The Gasworks, Loreto Abbey, Castleforbes Square and The Barleyhouse.
