Dublin 8 from €370,000:One and two-bedroom apartments come to the market this week in a new phase at the popular Hyde Square in Dublin 8.

Located just off the South Circular Road, opposite Hybreasal apartment development and beside the St James' Wood development, Hyde Square is a scheme of 82 apartments and a selection of live/work units.

Show units will open for the first time today to coincide with the launch.

The first phase was launched off plans in 2005 and now 20 more units are on offer. The development is nearing completion and all units can be viewed, according to the selling agent.

Prices start at €370,000 for 51sq m (545sq ft) one-bedroom apartments. Two-bedroom units of 74sq m (790sq ft) are from €460,000 and two-bedroom live/work units of 104sq m (1,110sq ft) are from €540,000.

Car-parking spaces at basement level cost an additional €25,000.

The scheme is laid out in three blocks (rising to five storeys) built around a central residential courtyard.

Brick and render finish is combined with modern timber cladding and glazed balcony areas.

A big selling point at Hyde Square is likely to be its location, in a pretty stretch of the South Circular Road and close to great transport links. Davitt Road and St James' Hospital Luas stops are a five-minute walk in either direction and the M50 is in striking distance.

Hyde Square is being developed by Galway-based Megard Ltd and is being built by Purcell Construction.
