There are two sections to the street - Upper and Lower. The upper section now features a number of large Student Accommodation Complexes and three pubs.

Originally a Georgian residential street, Dominick Street was constructed in the 1750s by the Dominick family.

It was once a fashionable place to reside but with the passing of time the street fell into decline and many of large houses became tenement buildings.

In the 1960s, Dublin City Council cleared Dominick Street of a number of the terraced houses on the lower section that were classed as tenements and replaced them with eight blocks of five-storey flats, containing 198 units.

Recently with a renewed commitment to regeneration and the creation of sustainable communities, the decision was made to demolish these flat complexes and replace them with a mixed-use, mixed tenure scheme, within the 1.26 ha site.
