Grand Parade Plaza is a 300m-plus mixed-use development on the Grand Parade. It will include a 50,000-plus square feet library and associated public facilities, 160,000 square feet of offices, 100,000 square feet of shopping and basement car parking.

Overhead there is a magnificent choice of apartments to select from. You can settle on a one, two or three bedroom apartment or choose one of the exclusive penthouses. And whatever you choose you can take comfort from the care and dedication which Frinailla Developments have put into ensuring that these creative and stylish homes have been completed to exacting standards.

The new library which forms part of this development will have exhibition spaces, an auditorium, children’s and teenagers’ facilities, study/meeting rooms, language learning facilities, a music room, banks of computers and DVD screens among lending and reference services — all within a five-storey glass facade structure.

The plans provisionally worked up by architects Reddy O’Riordan Staehli include retention of the 1930-built Hiberno-Romanesque limestone facade at 57-8 Grand Parade.
