Bonham Quay
Developed by Edward Capital and designed by BDP Architects, Bonham Quay shows how our city centres can evolve to create places we want to visit and work in, with space for nature which everyone can enjoy.
Built on industrial land in a highly accessible location right in the heart of Galway city, the developers have created a high-quality scheme that makes it easy for people to live a sustainable lifestyle.
The team at Edwards Investments are keen to engage with tenants to create a culture of sustainability – a tenant handbook will provide useful One Planet Living guidance, including a sustainable food charter and support to eliminate single-use plastics.
With its commitment to a high-quality design and support for sustainable behaviour, Bonham Quay is a clear sustainability leader both locally and across Ireland.
