Proposed apartment development Crown Square site in Mervue, Galway
This morning.
Via The Connaught Tribune:
The green light has been given for the construction of 345 apartments at the Crown Square site in Mervue – the majority of which will be put on the rental market and operated by a ‘cuckoo fund’ for a minimum of fifteen years.
Crown Square Developments, which is owned by developer Padraic Rhatigan, has secured permission from An Bord Pleanála for the ‘Build to Rent’ development, with four blocks ranging ranging from four to nine storeys in height.
There will be 240 two-bed apartments, 86 one-beds and 19 three-beds, all of which will be specifically for the rental market and not available to purchase.
Good times.

Thanks Bebe
Want to work from home? Want your home to look like it’s in an office block office to create the right vibe fore that? Want to need to sell a kidney at some point to make rent? Well you can have all of these things at Mervue…
Brilliant headline
It has the potential to be a complete poohole. Communities need permanent stakeholders; if everyone is transient then nobody will give a monkeys about the place.
Hard pass..
Place badly needs rentals though – and its one a main bus route into town
We live in a capitalist society? Well, I never…

Ah sure, don’t we need rental accommodation, meanwhile we’re just gonna put this ladder marked “property” in storage, won’t be needing it.
