Apartments in a scheme in Glasnevin, Dublin 9, for sale from plans this week, are expected to appeal to purchasers looking for secure accommodation convenient to the city centre. Botanic Square is being built on Botanic Avenue, between Drumcondra Road Lower and Glasnevin. Prices start at £159,950 for a one-bedroom unit, with two-bedroom apartments going from £198,000. The selling agent is Hooke & MacDonald and the building contractor is Brian M Durkan & Co.
Although 10 minutes by car from O'Connell Street, the vast green areas of Griffith Park and the Botanic Gardens provide plenty of open space for recreation. The two- three-storey apartment blocks will be of rustic brick with a mansard roof. They will be set well back on Botanic Avenue and approached by a private driveway. Landscaped gardens will be a particular feature on both sides of the building, with a central courtyard. There will be 24 two-bedroom apartments and the remaining eight will be one-bedroom units. Some of the homes will have balconies and all interiors will include a standard fire surround, kitchen and bathroom wall tiling and fitted wardrobes.
