South Lotts

It was created following the embankment of the River Liffey in 1711 between the city and Ringsend, thereby reclaiming the marshes as North and South Lotts.

The district originally referred to 51 reclaimed plots of land directly behind City Quay sold to the highest bidder in 1723.

It includes a flat complex as well as the home of Google's European headquarters in the Gasworks House and Gordon House - along with the Google Docks (previously the Montevetro) building, Dublin's tallest commercial building - across Barrow Street in the Grand Canal Dock area.

A number of commercial businesses operate in the South Lotts area including Ringsend's post office (inside the Eurospar on Barrow Street), coffee shops, a sandwich bar and a beauty salon.

Marriage Equality Ireland's video "Sinead's Hand" (2009) featured a number of South Lotts scenes (link).
