Welcome to the consultation website for the emerging proposals at 161 Marsh Wall, brought forward by Ballymore.

The proposals seek to transform a dated office building into a contemporary, energy-efficient lifestyle hotel, giving the building a new lease of life while responding to the changing needs of the area. Rather than demolishing and rebuilding, the scheme focuses on retrofitting and upgrading the existing structure, reducing embodied carbon and supporting a more sustainable approach to development.

In addition to providing high-quality hotel accommodation, the proposals include a new ground-floor café that will help animate the street and create a welcoming destination for visitors, workers and local residents. Improvements to the public realm and pedestrian environment along Marsh Wall are also proposed, helping to create a more attractive, accessible and enjoyable route for those walking through the area.

We would like to hear your views on these emerging proposals and invite you to explore the information provided throughout this website.
