An impressive and now vacant Victorian Dublin property (built in the 1880’s) is to be redeveloped in to social housing at a cost of €6 million by Tuath Housing Association.

22 units are to be created within ‘Ellis Court’ which was a former Dublin City Council building that has sat derelict since being damaged by fire back in 2005. Social housing will be provided now with Tuath Housing Association set to refurbish the four storey building on Benburb Street following securing planning permission for the works that are scheduled to commence in May 2019.
