Construction has started on 146 north Dublin homes in a joint LDA and DCC development.
An tSrúill on Cromcastle Road in Coolock will include 133 cost rental and 13 social homes, as well as new community, cultural and open spaces. The 1.7-acre site, owned by Dublin City Council, is located on Cromcastle Road at the junction of Oscar Traynor Road and Kilmore Road, near Beaumont Hospital and opposite the Northside Shopping Centre.
The development will include apartments, public open spaces and communal amenities with new landscaping, a public plaza and green spaces to enhance biodiversity. Bennett Construction has been appointed as contractor for the development and is already working on site.
John Coleman, Chief Executive of the Land Development Agency said: “We are delighted to get construction started on this 146-home development. An tSrúill is being delivered to the highest standards in an excellent and well-served location with easy access to all local amenities and services.
“It will provide much-needed cost rental and social housing and it will add significantly to the existing local community, delivering new pedestrian routes and public spaces. This is just one of a number of projects we are working on in partnership with Dublin City Council and I would like to recognise the local authority’s support and its trust in the LDA to assist in the fast-tracking of such large-scale and strategically important housing projects.”
Richard Shakespeare, Chief Executive of Dublin City Council said : “It is fantastic to have broken ground at An tSrúill and we are looking forward to the delivery of what will be 146 high-quality and A-rated homes. This development will add to the housing supply in Dublin 5 and complement another development that DCC is working on at an adjacent site.
“DCC is committed to maximising the housing potential of land in our ownership and we are continuing to partner effectively with the LDA, whose expertise and experience is helping us to bring projects through the design and planning phases to construction and completion.”
