Work has begun on the first phase of the €400m Cleeves Riverside Quarter regeneration project in Limerick. Phase I involves heritage-led stabilisation and repair works to the Flaxmill’s upper storey and roof. Built around 1853, the Flaxmill is a rare surviving example of nineteenth‑century industrial architecture and forms a central element of Cleeves Riverside Quarter. FCB Studios assigned architects accredited in building conservation, each with extensive experience in the repair and adaptive reuse of nationally and internationally significant heritage buildings. Phase I forms part of the broader Cleeves Riverside Quarter programme, which will transform the former industrial site on the banks of the River Shannon into a new, connected urban neighbourhood.
