23 exceptional apartments on offer in The Blake
Following the successful launch of the first phase of sales at Lansdowne Place, the second phase of apartments is now on sale in Ballsbridge. The 23 units on release are located in The Blake, a premium stand-alone pavilion style building with views over Lansdowne Road. Two collections are on release. The Berkeley Collection, which includes twenty large apartments ranging in price from €825,000 to €2.1 million, and The Lansdowne Collection which comprises three spacious penthouse units with prices starting at €2.15 million.
Situated on the corner of Lansdowne Road and Shelbourne Road, Lansdowne Place is being developed on the site of the former Berkeley Court Hotel and was also once home to the Trinity College Botanic Gardens, which were located there for over one hundred and sixty years. In keeping with the legacy of the site, the individual buildings in the development are named after acclaimed Irish botanists with close links to the site. The Blake, which is now on the market, is named after Edith Blake (1846-1926) an Irish botanical illustrator and writer.
Of the seven buildings in the Lansdowne Place development, The Templeton is sold out and sales are well advanced in The Barrington following the initial launch of the scheme earlier in the year. The eagerly anticipated units in The Blake are expected to be in high demand with the agents reporting significant interest in advance of the launch due to their large size and premier location on the site. Sales in this development have already established prices in excess of €1,000 per square foot.
Andrew Gunne, Chief Executive, Chartered Land, said: “Most of the buyers, both from Ireland and overseas, are taken by the quality of the product and the opportunity to acquire a premium home in the heart of Ballsbridge. Many are viewing Lansdowne Place as a unique investment for future generations.”
One of the main talking points has been the scale and service provided in the Residents’ amenities at Lansdowne Place. The Residents’ amenity offering will be provided over two floors totalling 6,500 sq.ft. and will be managed by a 24-hour concierge and management team. Residents and their guests will have the benefit of a lounge, library, meeting room, cinema and hospitality space. This unique lifestyle initiative, not delivered previously in Ireland, will also house a gym, sauna, steam room and treatment rooms. As part of the offering it is envisaged that a dedicated car sharing service will be available for the exclusive use of the residents.
