Dublin's newest urban living quarter located at Sandymount Strand, Dublin 4. Glass Bottle is a new place to live, work and enjoy the best that Dublin City has to offer.
The Eve of the Irelands premier District Energy Conference is probably a good time to bring you the biggest project we are currently working on. Not just in numbers but the milestone of being the first #DistrictHeating Network in Dublin City. Powered from a #WasteToEnergy facility on the Poolbeg peninsula, we bring you the Glass Bottle project.
The ambition for Glass Bottle is to create a well-balanced community and a new destination for Dublin that will include 3,600 homes through rental, co-living, private, #SocialandAffordable accommodation. There will also be cultural and community spaces, office, hotel, leisure, retail and other amenity facilities with a strong focus on the community, outdoors and its waterfront location.
DN600 District Heating pipes are in the ground from the #WtE plant and will serve the 900 apartments currently under construction and continue on to the city downstream of Glass Bottle. DH pipes already exist on the North City Docklands and once connected, these buildings can decarbonise by switching off their fossil fuel plantrooms and connecting via #HeatExchangers to the DH network.
As always it is a pleasure to deal with all stakeholders, at every level, on the project. Special mention to Adam Dent of Kerrigan Mechanical Ltd. for overseeing such a fine installation of our Danfoss Climate Solutions #HeatInterfaceUnits, #EnergyMeters, #PressureIndependentTRVs and other products.
Come down to the conference Thursday (tomorrow!!), learn about what’s next for DH in Ireland and you’ll also see the Glass Bottle HIU on display. 😀

A significant construction milestone was celebrated recently at Glass Bottle, Sandymount Strand, Dublin 4. Together the development team (Lioncor and RGRE) delivered the “topping out” of two of the three residential blocks in the first phase of the development.
John Maxwell CEO at Lioncor commented “The progress at Glass Bottle is the result of the exceptional work from our dedicated and experienced team, as well as the collaborative support from Dublin City Council. We’re witnessing the transformation of a brownfield site into something new and innovative but in keeping with the city of Dublin. We are delighted to be “topping out” phase one of the largest residential housing project in the city, providing much needed new homes in our capital and contributing to solving the housing crisis. We look forward to providing an update on the next phase in due course.”
The development of Glass Bottle will see the transformation of 37.2 acres of industrial land into an integrated and vibrant new place for all Dubliners. The ambition and vision for the site is to create a new balanced community made up of private, social, affordable and rented homes along with next generation work spaces. Glass Bottle on completion will provide new homes for approximately 10,000 residents and a similar number of workers on a fantastic bayside location.
Rory Williams, CEO at RGRE said: “RGRE is proud to be part of the team behind this much-needed residential development for Dublin City which creates a sustainable new community in a high-quality living space. The Glass Bottle site looks out onto Dublin Bay from an incredible location transforming a barren industrial plot into a vibrant new neighbourhood community where families will find jobs, homes and a new, more enjoyable and sustainable, way of living. As further elements of the overall Glass Bottle scheme progress, intelligent, innovative design and land-use present us with the opportunity to deliver thousands of homes, next generation workspaces and leisure facilities at a time of huge demand for housing.”
