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 .

"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.
