Hines gets green light for co-living apartments scheme on Player Wills site Development in Dublin 8 to include four apartment blocks with one reaching 19 storeys in height

Plans for a 19-storey apartment block and co-living scheme at the site of the former Player Wills factory in Dublin 8, have been given the green light by An Bord Pleanála.
The development by US property group Hines is among the first co-living schemes approved by the board since Minister for Housing Darragh O’Brien moved to ban their construction.
The application was submitted on December 16th, just days before the de facto ban on co-living developments came into force. Mr O’Brien in late November announced the ban on new co-living schemes, where shared kitchen and living facilities serve multiple en suite bedrooms. However, the ban was not signed into law until December 22nd.
