Location

Little Strand Street runs west from Capel Street towards Arran Street. No. 31 is just 100m from the junction with Capel Street – the newly pedestrianised and well-established retail and leisure thoroughfare connecting the Henry Street / Mary Street area to the quays and linking up with Temple Bar/ south city centre via Parliament Street.
Smithfield which lies immediately to the west of Capel Street is undergoing huge transformation from a traditional market area to a new urban quarter including plans for exciting redevelopment of the former Dublin City Fruit Markets for gourmet food and associated uses.

Capel Street has emerged as an extension of and rival to the Temple Bar area with a host of new food and beverage offerings together with exciting hotel and guesthouse developments.

Capel Street was named in 2022 as the 22nd coolest street in the world in Time Out Magazine. It includes an eclectic mix of traditional retail and pubs complemented by new food and beverage operators. Among the notable neighbours are: Louis Copeland- Gentlemen’s Tailor and Outfitter; Panti Bar; Brother Hubbard; Bar 1661 and many others. Transport options include the adjacent LUAS (Red Line), LUAS (Green Line) on O’Connell Street, rail at Heuston and Connolly Stations and the many Dublin Bus Routes on the quays.

Description

No. 31 Little Strand Street is a three-storey warehouse / office building just off Capel Street with expired planning for change of use and two additional floors.

The building is concrete-built and suited to addition of upper floors or, if preferred, can be demolished and replaced.

There is a shared vehicular laneway with an electric security gate to the east of the property and a small, enclosed yard to the rear.

It is noteworthy that the adjoining former Working Men’s Club site now has planning for a mixed-use development rising from five to nine storeys.
