Planning permission is being sought for a large commercial development consisting of three office blocks in the Knocknacarra area of Galway City.
The application by McDonogh Capital Investments is four three office blocks ranging from four to eight storeys in height on a site located on Bothar Stiofain.
The site of the proposed office blocks is currently an empty greenfield location near the Rahoon Road junction.
The development would consist of three office buildings four, six, and eight storeys tall respectively, with the shortest office block fronting onto Bothar Stiofain and the tallest at the eastern end of the site.
The office development will be served by 167 car parking spaces wrapped around the boundaries of the site. These will include 9 accessible parking spaces and 33 with EV charging stations.
The development will also include 216 bicycle parking spaces and 9 motorcycle spaces. New entry and exit points will be created onto Bothar Stiofain.
A decision on this planning application is due from Galway City Council by March 20 of this year.
Galway City Council recently announced plans for a major upgrade to Bothar Stiofain to provide dedicated cycling lanes on either side of the road and improved footpaths.
