BAM Ireland has been appointed as the main contractor for a scheme in Dublin's south docklands.

The development on One Lime Street will feature 216 one- and two-bedroom apartments with private balconies/terraces, handsome landscaped communal spaces amounting to 13,000 sq ft, and high-end amenity space including a gym, concierge, multi-purpose rooms and retail space on street level.

One Lime Street has been designed as a U-shaped block around a light, bright and airy central courtyard, giving residents a respite from the busy city surroundings. It will be primarily built in brick to keep tradition with neighbouring residential architecture and industrial buildings in the Docklands area.

Having recently completed site works, construction on the apartment blocks of One Lime Street is commencing this month with a completion date set for Q2 2022.

One Lime Street design will reflect Marlet's pro-active approach to the challenges posed by the current pandemic, and include the use of microbicidal paint applied on washroom and shared area walls, antibacterial door hardware, touch-free building access, and a top-of-the-range ventilation strategy.

Theo Cullinane, BAM Ireland CEO, said: "Moving forward with Marlet on One Lime Street is particularly exciting considering all the challenges the industry, and indeed the country, has faced in recent times. These 216 apartments will be a great addition to the South Docklands area and BAM is looking forward to delivering them for Marlet. BAM will utilise off-site prefabrication techniques to deliver this project. The superstructure, bathrooms and balconies will be manufactured and finished off-site. Advantages of off-site construction include; a reduced construction period; less operatives on site; better environment for social distancing and minimal disruption to local residents."
