Conor McGregor announces plans to build 300 homes on €19m Dublin site

Conor McGregor is planning to build as much as 300 homes on an 'amazing mega site' after spending €19 million on a Dublin development.

The UFC star could spend a further €100 million on developing the Dublin 12 site, as he plots a residential quarter as well as 'multiple amenities'.

The Currency reports that McGregor purchased the former Heidelberg/Miller building and SCR Garage sites for about €15 million, while he also bought the adjoining Marble Arch pub for about €1.5 million.

And the Dubliner's representatives are working to acquire a further site which was formerly a paint shop to complete the development.

Planning permission for 188 build-to-rent apartments plus two commercial units has already been secured for the former Heidelberg/Miller building and SCR Garage sites, and McGregor hopes to build 300 apartments pending planning permission for the other sites.

Taking to Twitter, McGregor acknowledged the news and added: "Housing plus multiple amenities to be built on this amazing mega site, which sits sun facing adjacent the main city centre Luas line.

"One amenity being a brand name supermarket! A stones throw from the National Children’s Hospital in Crumlin. As well as St. James hospital also."
