For numerous years, Lefroy House in Dublin city centre functioned as a residential hub for the Salvation Army, providing shelter for individuals facing homelessness. It is presently on the market with a proposed price tag of €3.75 million. Ross Shorten of North’s Property is overseeing the sale, and the funds raised from the transaction will facilitate the Salvation Army Ireland to bolster and extend their homeless support services. Across its six residential centres, known as Lifehouses, the Salvation Army accommodates single adults, couples and families at risk of being homeless, supplying a total of 250,000 bed nights in Dublin currently.
Lefroy House is notable for its unique three-tier basement structure spanning an area of 831sq m (8,945sq ft). Positioned at the crossroads of Eden Quay and Marlborough Street and overlooking the beautiful river Liffey, this property, previously identified as the Seamen’s Institute, hosts a diverse mix of refurnished apartments and bedrooms, leisure areas, dining facilities and offices. It consists of 36 rooms as well as 11 shower rooms and lavatories for both men and women.
Ross Shorten of North’s Property has stated, “The building was restored to a superior level by the reputed G&T Crampton builders post the 1916 Easter Rising’s destruction. It has undergone recent refurbishment and is available for occupancy with a potential for income generation. Additionally, it harbours scope for alternative uses such as tourism and commercial purposes pending planning permission.”
