First Dublin affordable housing scheme in 11 years is appointed.

The units will comprise one to three storey houses and 12 three-storey duplexes and apartments. These will be divided into a mix of two- bedroom apartments, three-bedroom duplexes, three-bedroom terraced and three-bedroom semi-detached residences.

With some exceptions, the homes in this affordable housing development will be available to current residents in Fingal who are first time buyers, offering prices that are around 25% below their market value.

The pricing of the two bed apartments will begin at €166,000, the three- bedroom duplexes will start at €206,000, the three-bedroom terraces at €250,000 and the three-bed semi detached homes start at €258,000.

The Mayor of Fingal, Cllr David Healy, said: “Councillors approved the Dun Emer Purchase Scheme last November, so I welcome the appointment of a developer which is the next step in the process. I hope that the process will continue to move quickly as councillors are very supportive of this scheme and are keen to introduce affordable housing into the county.”

CGI consultants, 3D Design Bureau, liaised with the development team to construct a series of 3D planning and 3D marketing solutions. 3D Design Bureau produced verified view montages and architectural CGIs which were submitted as part of the planning application to Fingal County Council. The visuals are now being used for marketing purposes with national media covering the project.
