The Grangegorman Development Agency (GDA) is a statutory agency established in 2006 by the Irish Government to redevelop the former St. Brendan's Hospital grounds in Dublin city centre.
The GDA aims to create a vibrant new city quarter with a diverse mix of uses, in a way that is sensitive to the context of the Grangegorman site, its surrounding neighbourhoods and the existing community. The challenge is to plan for and implement a complex, multi-phased development that provides:
a high quality area with physical linkages to Smithfield, Phibsborough, Prussia Street and the City Centre
new arts, cultural, recreational and public spaces to serve the community and the city
a primary school, public library and children's play spaces, and
complementary mixed-use development
