Construction is now underway at the Former Michael’s Estate in Dublin 8. The scheme from Dublin City Council was granted planning permissions with conditions by An Coimisiún Pleanála in July 2023.

The Emmet Road development, with an estimated value of €125m, forms an integral part of Dublin City Council’s initiative to address the soaring demand for affordable accommodation in urban regions.

The scheme, located on Inchicore, will include the construction of 578 homes that comprise a mix of studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments. Approximately 76% of the development will be designated for affordable rental homes, while the remaining 24% will cater to social housing, marking a significant step towards alleviating the city’s housing challenges.

The underway scheme will also feature other commercial and non-residential units, including a supermarket, library, community facilities and on-site parking spaces. These units will not only benefit future residents of this scheme but will also be a great addition to the surrounding Inchicore community.

“Creating a welcoming and sustainable neighbourhood, both for residents living within the new homes and the wider Inchicore community, is central to Dublin City Council’s vision for Emmet Road. I cannot wait to see this development completed,” said Daithí de Róiste, then Lord Mayor of Dublin, when the scheme secured approval from An Coimisiún Pleanála.
