No offers from ‘citizen developers’ to build six-storey apartment complex

A local authority plan to rejuvenate an inner-city area by offering young families the chance to build a six- storey apartment complex on an empty plot of land for a knockdown price has yet to receive any takers.

Dublin City Council has confirmed there have been no bids to date for the site on Fishamble St, near Christ Church Cathedral, more than a week after the opportunity was launched as part of a wider inner-city regeneration programme.

Under plans announced last month, the local authority put the currently empty 29-30 Fishamble St plot of land up for sale at a knockdown €150,000 price.
