Chivers
Client Platinum Land
Location Coolock, North Dublin
Size c. 40,000sq.m
Status Planning Granted
The Jam Factory Masterplan aims to revive a derelict site within an existing inner-suburban environment. Recently granted permission, construction is due to start in early 2022.
The Chivers site as it sits today is a sealed off, derelict site within the context of an existing inner-suburban environment. Our proposal seeks to open up the site and the parkland to create a vibrant urban neighbourhood for the benefit of all users in the locality.
The most obvious enhancement of the public realm is the re-opening of access to the linear park along the river Santry. The site is circa 3.61Ha and should be seen as an opportunity site of a size and scale that can accommodate height without undue detriment to nearby property. The linear park provides a sterile boundary that mediates typical conditions of overshadowing and overlooking etc.
