- Up to 900 jobs could be created at Dublin Airport with the planned €130m development of a four star hotel and multi-storey car park linked directly to the airport’s new passenger terminal T2.About 550 jobs will be created during the construction phase of the project and when opened, the new hotel is expected to employ about 350 staff.
- Plans for the new hotel, which will have up to 470 bedrooms, and the linked multi-storey car park with up to 2,900 spaces, have been submitted by the Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) to An Bord Pleanála in recent weeks. The project will be developed in conjunction with Northern Ireland property developer and design and build contractor McAleer & Rushe.
- The DAA will own the car park while the hotel, which will operate under InterContinental Hotel’s Crowne Plaza brand, will be owned by Irish hotel operator Tifco. Funding for the project will come from the DAA and its joint venture partners.
- Subject to planning, the new 11-storey Crowne Plaza hotel will have a floor area of 28,000 sq metres. In addition to up to 470 bedrooms, it will contain associated business facilities, bars, restaurant, meeting rooms and a state-of-the-art fitness centre.
- The spaces in the new multi-storey car park will be divided between short-term public parking, car hire, hotel customers and service vehicles. The new hotel and car park will open in 2010, with the first 750 spaces of the car park operational by April of that year to coincide with the opening of Terminal 2.
- The hotel and multi-storey car park will connect directly with T2 and will be located close to the existing passenger terminal. The hotel will also be situated beside the proposed Metro station at Dublin Airport.
- “This development will greatly enhance customer choice and convenience for airport users,” said DAA Commercial Director Jack MacGowan. “A terminal-linked hotel with meeting rooms will be particularly beneficial for business travellers,” Mr MacGowan added.
- As is now required under planning legislation, the DAA has recently written to An Bord Pleanála to ascertain whether the planned project should be considered as Strategic Infrastructure under the 2006 Act. Depending on that decision, planning permission for the development will be sought from either An Bord Pleanála or from Fingal County Council, which is the local planning authority.
- Co Tyrone based McAleer & Rushe is one of Northern Ireland’s largest commercial property companies and contractors. Over the past decade it has built 40 hotels with a total of 6,500 bedrooms.
- Tifco is an Irish company that owns and manages Clontarf Castle Hotel, and the Crowne Plaza and Express By Holiday Inn brands in Ireland. It owns four hotels in Ireland and one in Germany and has two further properties under construction.
