Glass Bottle
The Glass Bottle project is a transformative urban development located on Sandymount Strand at the base of the Poolbeg Peninsula in Dublin. Spanning approximately 37.2 acres, this initiative aims to convert a former industrial site into a vibrant, sustainable city quarter that seamlessly connects Dublin to the bay and links the neighboring communities of Irishtown, Ringsend, and Sandymount.The development will deliver over 3,800 residential units, including private, social, affordable, and rental housing options, accommodating up to 9,500 residents. Complementing the residential spaces, the project will feature over one million square feet of commercial space, encompassing offices, retail outlets, hotels, cultural and community facilities, leisure amenities, and expansive public spaces.The design emphasizes sustainability, incorporating low-carbon, highly efficient buildings throughout the development cycle. The initial phase, approved in March 2022, includes 570 apartments and 400 square meters of retail space, with subsequent phases adding more residential units and amenities. Construction began in June 2023, with the first completions expected by the end of 2025.By revitalizing this historic area, the Glass Bottle project aspires to create a well-balanced community and a new destination for Dublin, offering residents and visitors a harmonious blend of urban living and natural beauty.
