Sunday Property Round-Up February 7th, 2021

Irish property market news and insights – for the industry, by the industry  

 

A personal note before we get started today – It has been a challenging 11 months for everyone so I am genuinely grateful for all of the industry and client support that has allowed Property District to grow our team over this period. Everyday, we have the opportunity to work strategically with communities and with people from some of the best private sector and public sector organisations in the industry. This is not just luck, we truly value and nurture these relationships. But not all organisations are a good fit. Company culture is not simply a buzzword, it is a very real feature of Property District. It is shorthand for passion, talent and innovation, underpinned by our values of integrity, creative and moral courage, and mutual respect. We will not collaborate or work with any organisations that do not share these values and we absolutely will not tolerate any unprofessional, demeaning or downright rude behaviour towards any of our team members. We were reminded of this stance earlier this week. So, with all collaborative project meetings happening over video-chat, I believe the following is important reading and I advise organisations to discuss online etiquette and perhaps share this with all new and middle-managers (leaders already understand this):

Now, back to business… Before we get stuck into the general property news of the week, below are the local and international stories that might be of particular interest: 

 

 

 

 

  • Plan to convert 4,000 empty spaces above Dublin shops into housing: A policy to promote ‘living above the shop’ will be included in the final draft of the 2022-2028 development plan https://www.businesspost.ie/retail/plan-to-convert-4000-empty-spaces-above-dublin-shops-into-housing-dc726c15

As always, you might let me know if I have missed out on any relevant property news by emailing  carol@propertydistrict.ie.

 

(Apologies in advance for any typos, it’s difficult to get good help on a Sunday. Also, I use voice to text dictation so just sound out anything that really doesn’t make sense in a strong rural accent and that should help!)
