Co-Living: Relief as Broadstone Development Rejected By Mike Gilmore Western Way Developments Ltd wanted to build a 280-bed shared accommodation scheme in blocks up to nine stores high.
A City Councillor has expressed relief that An Bord Pleanála rejected plans for a co-living development near Phibsboro on the north side.
The proposed build would have incorporated the historic and protected structure of the former Hendron s factory into its final plans.
Local Rep. Niall Ring issued a statement today stressing how unsuited this development was for the area.
“It is obvious that the very nature of the proposed development is clearly incongruent with and out of character with the existing neighbourhood.

Plans for a co-living scheme at the Hendron’s Building, a modernist protected structure in Broadstone, Dublin, have been refused by An Bord Pleanála.
Western Way Developments Ltd wanted to build a 280-bed shared accommodation scheme in blocks up to nine storeys high incorporating the 1940s Hendron’s factory.
The former industrial building on Western Way is one of the few modernist buildings on the city’s Record of Protected Structures.
Minister for Housing Darragh O’Brien in late November announced a de facto ban on new co-living developments where shared kitchen and living facilities serve multiple en suite rooms. However, the ban was not signed into law until December 22nd, and in the intervening period the developers lodged their application with the board.
