ACME are delighted to work with Hammerson on the vision for a new quarter in Dublin’s north inner city. Often referred to as the Carlton site, the prime six acres stretches from Upper O’Connell Street to Parnell Street to Moore Street & Henry Street.  The location has a historic connection with the Easter Rising of 1916, as a place of refuge for the Irish leadership, the location of the final council of war and the subsequent capitulation of the Irish Volunteers. The site is at the heart of the commercial and retail centre of Dublin, and the last remnant of the Dublin Market Quarter. 
We look forward to developing the vision for a vibrant mixed-use quarter, to integrate and enhance the existing street market, to create new squares and routes through the site, to provide an appropriate setting for the key buildings from 1916 and to bring Upper O’Connell Street back to life as a major European boulevard.

Mamsha Gardens draws inspiration from the natural surroundings of the island and boasts signature landscaped gardens in which residents can relax and unwind. The gardens will feature water-efficient irrigation systems and a selection of native plant species, ensuring that the landscape thrives with minimal resource consumption.

The development features seven residential buildings comprising 493 homes thoughtfully designed with premium finishes and fittings. The development features a range of amenities, including two centrally located pavilions with gyms, yoga, Pilates and meditation rooms, as well as swimming pools, kids’ play areas, a multi-use games area, underground parking, bike storage, and residents’ lounges with workspaces and lounge seating. 

Mamsha Gardens will also include restaurants with outdoor dining terraces and shops, as well as a community theatre and separate retail underground parking. The locations of each of these spaces have been strategically designed to attract foot traffic and provide a vibrant social space while affording residents the utmost privacy.

In line with Aldar’s goals to promote sustainable living and building practices, the development is targeting a 3 Pearl Estidama rating and a 3-star rating from Fitwel - the world’s leading certification system for optimising building health and wellness outcomes. 50% of both retail and residential parking will be EV ready, and residents will have several pedestrian routes to explore.
