When Dublin’s shipbuilding and maritime industry was at its peak in the late 19th century, Ringsend was largely populated by men employed as labourers and carters on the docks and railways, while the womenfolk worked in nearby mills and factories.

Many lived in artisan cottages and small terraced houses in the area. It’s a very different looking neighbourhood today.

Within walking distance of Google’s European HQ and the IFSC at the docklands, as well as Meta’s international HQ in Ballsbridge, it is now one of South Dublin’s most salubrious addresses.

So much so, in fact, that a new development called The Dockyard is now set to become Ringsend’s first Millionaire’s Row.

Located behind a row of cottages at the end of South Dock Street, BP Development Projects are building the scheme of 11 two- and three-bedroom homes to a design by architect Brian Guckian on the site of a former warehouse and car showrooms.

Two of the properties are end-of-terrace two-bed townhouses measuring 1,044 sq ft, priced from €875,000.

There are two three-bed detached houses at 1,076 sq ft, from €950,000; and seven mid-terrace three-bed townhouses at 1,507 sq ft, from €1.075m.

Headline features include triple-glazed windows, Rationel doors, air-to-water heat pumps, custom-designed kitchens and bathrooms, high-speed broadband and an A2 BER. Each house has a carport and EV charging point.
