Bartra Capital Property Group is to partner with CIE on the development of a new high-rise office scheme at Grand Canal Quay in Dublin’s docklands.

Bartra’s tender for the site, known as Boston Sidings, won out over competing proposals from a number of the country’s leading developers, including one from Mr Barrett’s former partner in Treasury Holdings, Johnny Ronan.

Also in the running to develop the 0.87 acre south docks site were Tony Leonard and Paddy McKillen’s Clarendon Properties, and Sean Mulryan’s Ballymore Properties.Boston Sidings is located next to Grand Canal Dart station, and has frontage on to both Macken Street and Grand Canal Quay and Clanwilliam Terrace.
