The historic building, which was originally used for the importation of tropical fruit into Ireland, sits on the Dublin waterfront facing the Samuel Beckett bridge. IPUT’s new proposals will deliver more than 70,000 sq ft of offices including a six-storey office block and a converted original warehouse containing two office floors alongside the protected structure. There will also be significant investment in the public realm, creating a pedestrian connection to Whitaker Square from the River Liffey which will include café and an artist’s studio at street level.
