Dalata Hotel Group's new Maldron Hotel in Dublin tops out
Ireland-based hotel operator Dalata Hotel Group has announced the topping out of the new €40m ($45.18m) Maldron Hotel at Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland, a construction milestone indicating the structural completion of the development. Set to open next year, the 200-bedroom property is a key feature of the Clonliffe Lands Masterplan. The four-star Maldron Hotel is a collaborative effort between the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) and design-and-build contractor McAleer & Rushe. The site will offer amenities such as a gym, a business centre with five meeting rooms, and a full-service bar and restaurant. The development, which broke ground on 23 July 2024, will be managed by Dalata Hotel Group under its Maldron brand, further solidifying its regional presence. McAleer & Rushe has a longstanding relationship with Dalata, having delivered more than 3,000 keys for the group across Ireland and the UK. McAleer & Rushe chairman Seamus McAleer and chief executive Eamonn Laverty said: "It was a pleasure to bring together key stakeholders to celebrate this important milestone and reflect on the collective effort that has brought this flagship development to life. "Nearly two decades after delivering the Croke Park Hotel for the GAA, we are proud to once again contribute our expertise to a project of such significance, while strengthening our successful partnership with both the GAA and our long-standing client, Dalata." The hotel is designed with sustainability in mind, aiming to achieve a BREEAM rating. It will feature green roofs, air source heat pumps, EV charging points, and a traditional hand-built red brick façade that complements the surrounding architecture. McAleer & Rushe's commitment to environmental stewardship is evident in their waste management efforts, having diverted 100% of construction waste from landfill and saved more than 5,308m³ of soil through on-site reuse. Dalata Hotel Group CEO Dermot Crowley said: 'This achievement highlights the strength of our partnership with the GAA, a relationship founded on our shared values of commitment, excellence, and community spirit. 'As title sponsors of the U20 All-Ireland Football Championship, we understand the importance of investing in the future, both in sport and in the communities we serve. This hotel will further strengthen our presence in Dublin, creating local jobs, supporting the economy, and welcoming more visitors to the city.' In addition to this development, Dalata Hotel Group expanded its portfolio by exchanging contracts for the acquisition of CG Hotels Dublin Airport in November 2024. This acquisition includes the long leasehold interest in the Radisson Hotel, Dublin Airport.

Turnover at NI construction firm approaches £500m
McAleer & Rushe said that turnover has risen 12.6% to £491m last year, as the Cookstown-based firm gained high-profile projects in London and Dublin. The year saw the design and build contractor gain contracts to complete a £225m residential project in Bermondsey, an £80m 'later living' scheme in Tunbridge Wells and the £40m project for the Croke Park hotel in Dublin. Cash at bank and in hand also went up last year, from £53.1m to £71m, in what the company describes as an indication of 'controlled growth.' The firm says it expects turnover to reach £550m in 2025. London is an important part of the business, as evidenced by the extension and refurbishment work carried out at McAleer & Rushe's base in the city in Drury Lane, Covent Garden. Eamonn Laverty, group chief executive, said: 'Our latest construction results reflect our position as a trusted and competitive delivery partner, driven by sustained activity across the residential, student accommodation, office, and hotel sectors. 'We have seen a notable uplift in the build-to-rent and private sale markets, while 2024 has also marked growth in the later living sector, a strategic area of opportunity for the business going forward. 'The strength of our long-standing supply chain partnerships together with the commitment of our very dedicated management and staff remains central to how we deliver high-quality, efficient and sustainable schemes for our clients.'
