History & Culture
The Grand Canal Docks first opened in 1796 and at during this time were the world's largest docks. They fell into decline within a few decades and by the 1960s, the Grand Canal Docks were almost completely derelict. Regeneration began in 1998, when Bord Gáis sold the Dublin Docklands Development Authority (DDDA) the former gasworks site located in the area between Sir John Rogerson's Quay and Hanover Quay, for €19 million. They spent €52 million decontaminating the land between 2002 and 2006 and once this was complete there was a significant demand in the area bringing prosperity and with an important decision by Google to set up its European headquarters in the area. Grand Canal Square Square was completed in 2008 and the €8 million plaza consists of red resin-glass paving that juts out into the water, dotted with illuminated red poles. There are nice planted plots positioned across the square and bring a fresh feel to the square. Samuel Beckett Bridge was designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava Valls gives residents a stunning river view towards the city and over to the Convention centre. Boland's Mill was a functioning mill until 2001 and in early 2019, the site underwent a €150 million reconstruction to become Bolands Quay, accommodating new residences, commercial, retail, and public spaces.
