Construction started on a new residential development located in Coolock. Spanning a gross floor area of 15,280.5 sq.m., this project is set to comprise three blocks, varying in height from one to eight storeys, including a semi-basement/podium level.
The works involve the demolition of existing boundary walls, railings, and an ESB mini pillar to construct 146 apartment units. This includes 13 designated as social housing and 133 as cost rental homes, offering a diverse mix of 13 studio apartments, 54 one-bedroom, 67 two-bedroom, 12 three-bedroom units, and 2 community/culture units.
Key features of the scheme include the addition of public open spaces, communal and private amenity areas, as well as ample car, motorcycle, and bicycle parking facilities.
Following Dublin City Council’s approval of the project in February 2024, Phelim O’Neill, Head of Property at the Land Development Agency (LDA), stated:
“It’s fantastic to have secured planning permission for another development in partnership with Dublin City Council. This is a key site in a great area where there is a significant demand for affordable housing, so we are excited to be able to get construction underway. The 146 high-quality cost rental and social homes in Cromcastle will be well-served with ready access to all local amenities and essential services. The development will also add to the existing neighbourhood with new pedestrian routes and public spaces”.
3D Design Bureau contributed significantly to the planning application success by providing a comprehensive suite of 3D planning solutions, including verified view montages, presentation photomontages, computer-generated images, and a detailed, technically accurate daylight and sunlight assessment report. This collaborative effort with the design team instilled confidence in the client, optimizing the project’s timeline and ensuring timely, high-quality results for a sensitive site and development.
Let us help you secure planning!
Introduced under the Affordable Housing Act 2021, cost rental housing aims to offer a long-term, secure rental option, contributing to a diverse and sustainable housing market. Rent for these units is calculated based on the costs associated with constructing, managing, and maintaining the homes.
Eligibility criteria for applicants include specific net income brackets and the stipulation that they must not be recipients of any social housing supports, among others.

This article highlights three key trends the 3DDB team predicts will lead the way in 2025. While design remains at the heart of the AEC sector, this year’s advancements are heavily influenced by data-driven insights and a steadfast commitment to sustainability.
Construction continues on a Large-scale Residential Development (LRD) at Glencarrig House in Celbridge, Co. Kildare. The plans received approval from An Bord Pleanála in 2023.
A daylight and sunlight assessment is a technical analysis that is prerequisite in many planning applications. Assessments evaluate the potential impact a proposed development might have on surrounding existing properties and the environment.
