Mount Saint Anne’s is one of the largest mixed use, up market, private redevelopment projects in inner suburban Dublin. Located on 9.2 hectares/22 acres of institutionally zoned land, the site was previously the mother house for a religious order of nuns and a farm. The community included a primary and a secondary school, a number of listed convent buildings, a chapel and numerous outbuildings. The site adjoins a local Parish church and is situated between a busy primary commuter road with its bus routes to the East, a Luas light rail line on the Western boundary and local schools and their playing fields to the North and the South. Due to its elevated position overlooking a local river, the site is visually dominant in the local neighbourhood.
