Limerick Developer Reimagines Site with Georgian Homes | Ireland News

A Limerick developer is pivoting from student housing to traditional brick homes on St Gerard Street, honoring the neighborhood’s historic Georgian charm. The original three-story student complex permit expires next month, prompting a shift to three period-style houses that blend with the area’s heritage. The firm’s director acknowledges modernization’s value but stresses respect for local character, noting student halls would clash with the historic vibe. Community concerns over losing remnants of the old Turkish baths — one wall removed for safety, another still standing — have fueled the change. Once derelict and on the council’s neglected sites list, the land is now cleared for development, sparking both nostalgia from historians and hope for a more fitting future for the Georgian Quarter.
