Ireland: Real estate developer Firethorn has begun construction on the 138-bedroom Sackville Place hotel in central Dublin, set to be operated under The Gofer management arm of SW3 Capital.
Located just off O’Connell Street in Dublin, Sackville Place marks Firethorn’s first development outside the UK and its debut in the tourism sector.
Stewart Construction will deliver the seven-storey hotel, which will feature a range of room types including double, triple, and quadruple bunk dormitories, as well as private doubles.
Communal spaces including a bar, café, and lounge will span the ground floor and basement.
Paul Martin, director and head of development at Firethorn said: “This is a significant milestone for us. Sackville Place is not only our first tourism asset but also our first Irish project. With Stewart Construction onboard and work now underway, we’re excited to bring this new concept to life in the heart of Dublin.”
Firethorn acquired the site in partnership with SW3 Capital.
Tom O’Mahony, co-founder of SW3 Capital, said: “This milestone is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team. We’re thrilled to move into the next phase as we prepare to open and operate under our hospitality brand, The Gofer.
“Our goal is to redefine the guest experience in Dublin by combining exceptional facilities at Sackville Place with authentic, locally-rooted experiences. We’re excited to offer guests a true taste of Dublin – vibrant, welcoming, and unforgettable.”
Stewart Construction managing director Paul Stewart said: “We’re pleased to partner with Firethorn for their first Irish project. Our team understands the demands of the hospitality sector, and we’re committed to delivering this scheme to the highest standards.”
Practical completion of the hotel is expected in March 2027.
