Summary
Transport Infrastructure Ireland just snatched up the historic Carlton Cinema site on O’Connell Street — and surrounding lots — in a move that’s sparking big questions. Officially tied to the MetroLink station, insiders say this is just the opening act for a bold new plan: building housing right on Dublin’s most iconic street. The state is stepping in big time, via a new special purpose vehicle announced in April, led by Robert Watt, to overhaul the city center. With Hammerson pulling out due to legal delays and a tough market, TII’s move ensures the site stays on track — and signals a major shift: the government is now taking the lead, injecting state-backed muscle to finally unlock stalled development on O’Connell and Moore Streets.
