Galway developer JJ Rhatigan and architects Anthony Reddy & Associates have designed Castle Way around a private landscaped courtyard with water features, seating areas and comprehensive planting.
An attractive double height main entrance lobby, fitted with natural stone flooring, will provide access to the seven-storey building.
Promising a good quality fit-out, standard features at Castle Way will include cable TV connection points, recessed lighting, alarm wiring and speaker wiring throughout all units. Fully integrated audio/sound and TV home entertainment systems have been provided for.
Kitchens will have quality fitted units and granite worktops. Bathrooms come with Italian ceramic floor and wall tiling, underfloor heating, ceiling-mounted speakers with volume control, high quality chrome fittings, quality sanitary ware, recessed lighting and granite vanity tops. All apartments will have balconies with glazed balustrades.
Castle Way is located close to Dublin Castle and just minutes from South Great George's Street, Grafton Street, St Stephen's Green. It has views over to St Patrick's Cathedral and the castle.
The scheme forms part of a mixed-use development on the former Woodchester site. When completed it will comprise 77 apartments and penthouses, a retail area, office buildings and the new Radisson Hotel - the first Radisson in Dublin city centre. The hotel will include a designated conference area, spa and leisure centre.
Around the corner, the construction of the Dunnes Stores headquarters on South Great George's Street/Ship Street is nearing completion.
Parking spaces can be purchased for €45,000 at Castle Way. All units are due to be completed by Christmas, according to the agent.
