MOTION: Councillor T. Gilligan
"That the Chief Executive provides an update on Housing Development at Kilcarberry."
REPORT:
The joint venture development of 1,034 homes on 72 acres of Council lands, a community facility, a retail unit and creche facilities at Kilcarbery in Clondalkin, Dublin 22 was approved by An Bord Pleanála on the 5th December 2019.
The mixed tenure development which will include 310 social housing units (30% of the development) is the first of its kind envisaged as part of the major urban sites initiative under “Rebuilding Ireland”.
Adwood Ltd, a consortium of established Dublin builders Adroit and Maplewood, will develop the site. Adwood Ltd will pay the Council €38m and deliver 310 social housing units at competitive rates over four years.
In return for state support through the Local Infrastructure Housing Activation Fund (LIHAF) of €2m, Adwood has also committed to delivering 50 homes at prices discounted to the market.
The 724 private homes include a comprehensive range of 3 and 4-bed houses as well as one, two and three-bed apartments.
The Kilcarbery development is part of the Council’s €1 billion investment plan for building 4,500 new homes in the County in the coming years.
Work will commence on the site in the New Year.
