McHugh Group has been appointed to develop a new retail and hospitality facility at Rathfarnham Castle Courtyard and Stables.

The firm was selected by South Dublin County Council (SDCC).

The project aims to deliver a 1,400 square metre unit adjacent to Rathfarnham Castle.

McHugh group will work with SDCC and appointed design teams to develop the facility from design phase to delivery of daily operations.

The proposed vision will be inspired by three key pillars, Retail, Hospitality and Community.

The extensive hospitality offering will consist of a premium day time café and evening casual dining venue. Retail will consist of a boutique garden centre and lifestyle, offering premium deli and gourmet food, whilst additional aspects of the project will include a versatile space for community uses such as Yoga, Pilates, Art classes and local events.
