Capital Dock, Mixed-use development in Dublin Docklands, Ireland

Capital Dock is a mixed-use complex at Sir John Rogerson's Quay and Britain Quay in Dublin's docklands, made up of seven buildings between 3 and 23 storeys tall. Its 79-metre, 23-storey residential tower has a dark brown grid facade with rectangular glass windows and a continuous vertical strip of dark blue glass; the flat roof is stepped, with the left shaft higher than the right. A lower block with the same grid pattern extends to the left at ground level. The complex covers 4.8 acres and includes a public plaza and a 1.5-acre park with water views.

Capital Dock occupies the site once planned for the 40-storey U2 Tower, a Celtic Tiger proposal shelved after the 2007–2008 financial crisis. Kennedy Wilson bought the land in 2012 and, with NAMA, began construction at the end of 2014. Sisk Group completed the seven buildings in 2018; JPMorgan and Indeed had already signed for office space.

The place brings together residents and workers who share the same streets, cafés, and public areas throughout the day. This mix creates a living community where home and workplace exist side by side.

The complex sits right on the riverside path, making it easy to walk through and explore from multiple entry points. Visit during morning or midday hours when the cafés and public areas are less crowded, giving you a clearer sense of how the space is laid out.

The site was once earmarked for the U2 Tower, a 40-storey proposal from the Celtic Tiger years that was shelved after the 2007–2008 financial crisis. Kennedy Wilson bought the land in 2012 and scaled the plans down into today's seven-building complex, finished in 2018.
