A planning application for a \u20ac400 million development at the former Cleeves factory site in Limerick city is set to be submitted by Limerick Twenty Thirty next week.<\/p>\n

The plans for the Cleeves Riverside Quarter include a mixed development of housing, apartments and student accommodation on the banks of the River Shannon.<\/p>\n

It also provides for commercial space, a cr\u00e8che and two acres of public realm with new parks and plazas.<\/p>\n

Limerick Twenty Thirty, an economic development company established by Limerick Council, said the scale and ambition of the project reflects a commitment to meeting housing needs and shaping a sustainable future for the city.<\/p>\n

The development company will reveal the plan first at a public information event at The Flaxmill building in Cleeves Riverside Quarter tomorrow.<\/p>\n

A separate briefing of elected members will be given on Thursday, with the plans then being formally lodged with An Coimisi\u00fan Plean\u00e1la next week for consideration.<\/p>\n

The proposed development is located at one of Limerick’s most recognisable sites, synonymous for its 142ft red-bricked chimney stack. It was home to the famous Cleeves Condensed Milk Company, which had 3,000 employees on its payroll and sourced its raw material from 3,000 farmers across Ireland.<\/p>\n

Mayor of Limerick John Moran welcomed news of the planning application for the disused site.<\/p>\n

He said Limerick needs more anchors for enterprise and development, and “they won\u2019t come any bigger than Cleeves Riverside Quarter”.<\/p>\n

CEO of Limerick Twenty Thirty Enda Power said, “Cleeves Riverside Quarter responds directly to Limerick\u2019s growing demand for high quality housing and student accommodation, while creating a new mixed-use quarter that strengthens the economic and cultural core of the city”.<\/p>\n

Limerick Twenty Thirty has already delivered landmark projects for the city, including Gardens International and One Opera Square, with further development at Opera Square ongoing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A planning application for a \u20ac400 million development at the former Cleeves factory site in Limerick city is…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":95365,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-95364","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95364","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=95364"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95364\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/95365"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=95364"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=95364"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=95364"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
