Developers Johnny Ronan and Richard Barrett have lodged a planning application to build a 32-storey tower block overlooking Grand Canal Dock at Barrow Street in Dublin 4. The application, submitted by Candourity Ltd, a subsidiary of Treasury Holdings, also seeks to convert a protected warehouse structure into a nightclub. If constructed, the tower - on a site between and including 35 to 35A Barrow Street, Dublin 4 - would be one of the tallest buildings in Ireland. Earlier this month Dublin City Council approved plans for a 32-storey tower near Heuston Station. Treasury's site includes The Factory at 35a Barrow Street, and Treasury Holdings' headquarters at 35 Barrow Street. The new development will comprise 150 apartments, a nightclub, shop, café and public viewing platform. Architects Anthony Reddy and Associates has also designed a public plaza, which will be located between the 32-storey tower and Treasury's protected warehouse building, which will be converted into a nightclub and form the base for a second nine-storey apartment tower.
