Project Scope:

Capital Dock is one of the largest, single-phase mixed-use developments ever built in Ireland, extending over 4.8 acres with more than 690,000 sq.ft of gross space, creating a dynamic new urban quarter in Dublin. Tritech delivered the mechanical services to 190 high-quality multi-family units across three buildings, one of which is a 70-meter high, 23 story tower marking the gateway to the city. The scope included amenities such as a cinema and leisure centre.

In 2020, the project won Large Residential Project of the Year at the Irish Construction Excellence awards.
