The owners of Dublin's Central Hotel are reportedly planning to sell the venue following the completion of a planned redevelopment of the property.
The Central Hotel was acquired by London-based Deutsche Finance International (DFI) in a joint venture with Dublin-based BCP Capital during the summer of 2019.
It was reported in July of this year that the firm behind the acquisition, Exchequer Developments Limited, had applied for planning permission to expand the hotel into a 6,554 square metre, 125-bedroom venue.
According to The Business Post, new accounts for Exchequer Developments Limited have now revealed that the hotel's new owners are planning to sell property soon after the completion of the proposed redevelopment work, which is planned to commence in 2021.
Changes Necessary
However, Dublin City Council has expressed concern about a proposed replacement of a two-storey building on Dame Court with a new six-storey structure as part of the planned redevelopment, and has said that changes to the redevelopment plan are necessary if the overall plan is to be approved.
