The project is funded by Nama and is being constructed under a single phased development programme.
Bolands Quay will provide three new landmark buildings comprising of office, residential, retail and cultural space.
The development will also involve the restoration of a number of protected mill buildings and the creation of a new civic plaza looking onto the waterfront at Grand Canal Dock.

Planning permission for the new development was submitted through Dublin City Council’s fast track SDZ planning scheme in December 2014 and permission was granted in July 2015.
