y 1990 they began producing mixed developments adding retail and office space to the

residential elements. At Camden Lock they became the first to re-develop in the south

Dublin Docklands. More mixed developments were successfully undertaken at Ha’penny Bridge

House on Ormond Quay and Grafton Hall on Aungier Street.

In 1991 Cosgrave’s built the now famous Sweepstakes in Ballsbridge. This became a flagship

development for the city; its 247 units made it the first major combined apartment and

townhouse development in Dublin. In 1992 Cosgrave’s completed Custom Hall on Gardiner

Street, this was a brave step that made them the first developer to take on the rejuvenation of

the North Inner City.

The Group continued their production of high value apartments and duplex homes with

projects like The Northumberlands at Lower Mount Street and Salthill in Monkstown.
