Urban Renewal: Dublin City Council invited submissions yesterday for a €150 million redevelopment of St Michael's Estate in Inchicore. The 14-acre site will eventually include 700 residential units, community facilities and commercial retail space. The ambitious undertaking includes the original 11-acre St Michael's residential site plus three acres to the front facing onto Emmet Road near the centre of Inchicore. It is a prime Dublin 8 location close to extensive redevelopment going on opposite Kilmainham Jail and other nearby residential schemes. The council hopes the development, as planned, will change the housing mix in Inchicore, said assistant city manager and project sponsor for the St Michael's development, Brendan Kenny. "We feel there is no point going for redevelopment of St Michael's itself. We want to make sure it integrates into Inchicore," Mr Kenny explained. "It is part of our objective to change the social mix."
