Guinness brewery urban quarter subject of development plan

A computer-generated image of the proposed new Guinness quarter in Dublin 8, which is being developed by drinks giant Diageo and property developer Ballymore. The idea is to continue centuries-old brewing operations while developing the area into a modern place to live, work and play.Irish property developer Ballymore has submitted a planning application to Dublin City Council to develop a 12.5 acre site that currently forms part of Diageo’s St James’s Gate brewing campus in Dublin 8.

A separate application has already been submitted to repurpose Brewhouse 2 on the site into a new Irish headquarters for Diageo. Diageo will retain ownership of some of the buildings on the site, including number 1 Thomas Street, a former home of Arthur Guinness, who developed the famous stout, and the iconic front gate.According to Diageo, consultation on the plan has taken place with more than 120 community groups, public representatives, local businesses, and other parties since 2017. It is expected that the development would take 10-15 years to complete from when it receives planning approval.

Seán Mulryan, group chief executive of Ballymore, said the plan involved a “modern, sensitive and highly sustainable urban design” in a historic part of Dublin city.

Any urban development scheme which uses the word 'quarter' should be treated with great suspicion.
