Glass Bottle is a transformative urban development located on Sandymount Strand at the base of Dublin's Poolbeg Peninsula. This ambitious project aims to revitalize approximately 15 hectares of former industrial land into a vibrant, integrated city quarter that seamlessly connects Dublin to the bay and links the neighboring communities of Irishtown, Ringsend, and Sandymount.
Design and Placemaking
The design philosophy of Glass Bottle emphasizes sensitivity to its unique location and the surrounding residential areas. The development aspires to rank among Europe's exemplary urban quarters, creating a self-sustaining ecosystem—a city within a city. Its proximity to Dublin's urban core and the shores of Dublin Bay provides an unparalleled opportunity to craft a destination that balances residential, commercial, cultural, and recreational spaces.
Connectivity
A cornerstone of the Glass Bottle project is enhancing connectivity. By bridging Sandymount, Ringsend, and Irishtown, the development will offer an active waterfront experience, granting residents and visitors improved access to natural amenities and the bay. This integration fosters a sense of community and encourages engagement with Dublin's rich coastal environment.
Sustainability
Innovation and sustainability are at the forefront of Glass Bottle's development strategy. The project is committed to constructing low-carbon, highly efficient buildings throughout its lifecycle, aligning with global environmental standards and contributing to Dublin's sustainable urban growth.
Historical Significance
The site of Glass Bottle holds historical importance, having evolved from reclaimed sea and marshlands in the 18th century to a hub of industry, notably housing the Irish Glass Bottle Company until its closure in 2002. The redevelopment pays homage to this legacy while ushering in a new era of urban living.
