Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2004 / May 29 2004: €475m docks scheme will include arts centre

The Dublin Docklands Development Authority (DDDA) yesterday announced plans for a €475 million scheme to redevelop a pivotal site in the Grand Canal Docks, including an "iconic" 2,000-seat performing arts centre. The authority's chief executive, Mr Peter Coyne, said he was delighted to announce the appointment of the Devey Group as the preferred bidder to develop the centre as well as a shopping mall and a five-star hotel on the site. International architects Studio Daniel Libeskind are designing the proposed centre, which will stage Broadway and West End productions, while the hotel has been designed by an award-winning Portuguese architect, Manuel Aires Mateus.
