Ireland: Cumberland Developments has lodged plans to build a five-storey aparthotel on the site of a former Dunnes Stores outlet in Dun Laoghaire, Dublin.
The company plans to demolish the vacant two-storey building on Northumberland Avenue, a predominantly residential street. The proposed aparthotel would have 45 studios and one- and two-bedroom suites. It would include a cafe, lounge and a swimming pool on the fourth floor.
Cumberland Developments is linked to Emmet O’Neill, who founded the Smiles Dental chain, which was bought by UK group Oasis Healthcare for €36 million in 2014.
