Student accommodation project set to transform Shannon town centre

A vacant building in Shannon is set for a major transformation after Clare County Council approved its conversion into student housing linked to the Shannon College of Hotel Management. Phoenix House, previously used to accommodate refugees, will be repurposed to support the region’s growing demand for student accommodation.

The move reflects a wider trend of reimagining underutilised properties to meet shifting market needs. For construction firms and developers, it signals potential in adaptive reuse projects that combine community value with commercial opportunity.
