Coopers Cross

Coopers Cross is a landmark mixed-use development occupying an entire 5.9-acre city block in Dublin’s Central Business District, the development has played a key role in the regeneration of the North Docks, delivering 449 high-quality private rented sector (PRS) residential units alongside extensive commercial space.

Designer Group successfully completed the full Shell & Core and CAT A mechanical and electrical installation for the commercial development, following the earlier delivery of the electrical package for the adjacent residential phase.

The development has been completed to the highest standards of sustainability, energy performance and digital connectivity, achieving LEED Platinum, WiredScore Platinum, SmartScore, WELL Gold and BER A3 certifications.

Our scope of works was extensive, delivering advanced, fully integrated mechanical and electrical systems to support a highly energy-efficient, future-ready building. On the mechanical side, this included high-performance, fully electric (fossil fuel–free) four-pipe multi-function heat pumps with large-scale thermal storage for off-peak charging, domestic hot water systems using multi-stage heat pump technology, and advanced heat recovery solutions. Intelligent building management controls, rainwater harvesting systems, and comprehensive energy monitoring were implemented across all platforms.

The electrical package included MV switchgear and transformers, LV distribution boards, emergency generator systems, full security installations (including CCTV and access control), fire alarm and PA/VA systems, structured data and voice cabling, rooftop solar PV arrays, EV charging infrastructure, and comprehensive lightning protection.
