Knight Frank and O'Donnellan & Joyce have been appointed to bring the historic St Brigid's campus in Ballinasloe to the market, representing a significant regeneration opportunity. The entire property extends to approximately 163 acres and includes an extensive collection of historic buildings totalling approximately 240,000sq ft, offering exceptional potential for redevelopment and reuse, subject to planning permission.
Occupying a prominent position on the edge of Ballinasloe town, the former St Brigid's Hospital campus comprises a substantial landholding arranged across seven plots. The property benefits from excellent connectivity, with direct access to the M6 motorway and convenient links to Galway city, Athlone and the wider Midlands region.
Designed by renowned architect Francis Johnston and dating from circa 1832, the main former hospital complex is one of the most distinguished institutional properties in the west of Ireland. The campus is listed on the Record of Protected Structures and forms part of the St Brigid's Hospital Architectural Conservation Area, reflecting its architectural and historical importance.
The sale presents a rare opportunity to deliver a transformational project on a site of significant scale. Under the Ballinasloe Local Area Plan 2022-2028, the lands benefit from a range of zoning designations including regeneration, residential, business and technology, community facilities, open space and amenity uses, creating flexibility for a broad range of future development proposals, subject to the necessary consents.
Importantly, the Local Area Plan includes a specific policy objective supporting the regeneration and reuse of the St Brigid's campus through appropriate master planning and stakeholder collaboration, recognising the strategic importance of the site.
The property is being offered for sale with full details available through the dedicated Dataroom at www.st-brigids.com Viewings are strictly by appointment through the joint selling agents.
