ONE LE POLE SQUARE, DUBLIN 2

One Le Pole Square is mixed-use development with a total gross floor area of 21,654 m². The development includes the new Dublin Royal Convention Centre which features 20 no. event spaces totalling 2,020 m², and includes the 23m open span Douglas Hyde Suite with an 800-seat capacity. It also features an exhibition/cultural gallery, a 10,521 m² HQ office development over 6 floors, a small number of retail uses, and a double basement. Buildings are up to 7-storeys in height standing over 2 floors of basement. The buildings are a mix of steel frame with composite deck/slab from ground floor to roof level, and reinforced concrete at lower ground and basement levels.

The regeneration of this site forms the basis of a significant urban renewal scheme in one of the most archaeologically sensitive areas of Dublin’s medieval city. A new pedestrian street links Chancery Lane and Ship Street Great; on this route a new civic square has been created over the remains of the 7th-century St. Michael le Pole Church.

Phase 1 of this development involved a 91-bedroom extension to the existing Radisson Blu Royal Hotel on Chancery Lane, providing a new spa, gymnasium, and retail units. Phase 2 included the provision of apartments, offices, a convention centre, cultural uses, and retail units facing onto Ship Street, Chancery Lane, and the new Le Pole Square.

The One Le Pole Square project won the 2024 Building and Architect of the Year Awards "Building of the Year - Tourism, Leisure & Hospitality" award in April 2024.
