Title: And the view from the west side is straight into the Corpo Flats
Post by: john m on June 06, 2019, 11:42:36 am
Located on a prime site in Dublin’s Grand Canal Dock, across from the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre, the waterside scheme follows on the heels of Capital Dock which launched in February, commanding an average two-bed rent of €3,500-€4,000 per month. Opus launches 120 apartments to market this week, and Michael Looney, managing director of Carysfort Capital, says a quarter of the units have already been pre-let to a mix of individual and corporate tenants.


FOUR THOUSAND EURO A MONTH  GET A FUCKING GUN QUICK .

NONE they bought a cheaper apartment block in D 4 and handed it over to satisfy the sccial need provision .Its getting Ridicilous our kid was looking house in Ballyfermot asking 230 K corpo came in for it to provide social housing now asking 280 so our kid has decided not to buy to go on the housing list and wait till the corpo buy her a gaff and she can pay 100 a week rent instead of 1100 mortgage .How there isint a revolution in this country is beyond me ,Davit and the land League would hide their heads in shame .All the new Apartments in Clancy Quay Islandbridge are build to rent .The builders evicted tenents from gaffs in Inchicore to hand over to the corpo to fulfill the social need provision .

"The Market", beloved of right wingers. Country is being sold to foreign investment funds to clean up the bank's books, it's disgusting. Planning is too slow. The buiding coops with a 5% reinvestment margin can build and sell 3 bed houses for under 200k with a little facilitation from the county councils. Not enough left wing votes, as a certain section of the population are doing well enough, and seem to have decided that the environment vote is more important than a housing vote.

'Planning expert' on the radio this morning saying we're fukked in Dublin.  Now that co-living apartments (40 people sharing a kitchen!) are allowed in Dublin, it's set a precedent.  Builders will just keep building them instead of houses or 'normal' apartment blocks.

I don't know how people are paying rent AND saving for a house at the same time.  Probably paying child care as well.

And as JohnM said above, the councils are coming in now and outbidding normal people for buying houses...  Doesn't make sense.
