ARCHITECTS ACTING for the businessman Denis O’Brien have lodged a planning application to demolish the rundown Canada House office block at the junction of St Stephen’s Green and Earlsfort Terrace in Dublin 2, and replace it with a larger building.
The existing five-storey block is to be replaced by a seven-storey building with a gross floor area of 6,607sq m (71,117sq ft) of office space.
There will also be a double basement and 41 car-parking spaces.
The fifth and sixth floors will have terraced set-backs and there will be a landscaped courtyard to the rear of the 0.15-hectare site.
A previous planning permission for a new office block on the site is due to run out shortly.
