Background
College Square is located on the sites of the former Apollo House and Hawkins House, which were demolished in 2018 and 2020 respectively.[2][3] In 2021, Marlet Property Group began the construction of College Square after an €270 million agreement with Apollo Global Management and Pimco was signed.[4]
Initially, the development consisted of an 11-storey office. In 2020, An Bord Pleanála approved plans for a 10-storey residential tower on top of the office block[4][5], which was then extended by one more floor in 2022, increasing the final height of the building from 78 metres to 82 metres.[1]
