South Dublin County Council has approved significant modifications to a previously permitted residential development on Fortunestown Lane, Saggart. Initially approved for 488 residential units, the scheme will now feature 574 apartments across five separate blocks.
Construction is progressing on Crown Square, a €200 million mixed-use development in Galway’s Mervue area. The latest Land Development Agency (LDA) project will deliver 345 A-rated apartments, comprising 86 one-bedroom, 240 two-bedroom, and 19 three-bedroom units. These residences will be allocated as cost rental and social housing, addressing the pressing need for affordable housing in the region.
Construction has commenced on a new large-scale residential development comprising of a whopping 1,020 units in Corballis, Donabate, with an estimated investment of €220 million. The LRD application received approval from Fingal County Council in April 2024, replacing a previously approved Strategic Housing Development (SHD) granted by An Bord Pleanála in November 2022, which is currently under judicial review. Corballis East is expected to provide a diverse range of housing options to meet growing demand in the area.
An Bord Pleanála has upheld Dublin City Council’s decision to grant planning permission, with revised conditions, for a large-scale residential development at the junction of Santry Avenue and Swords Road, Dublin 9. The approved scheme, developed by Dwyer Nolan Developments Limited, will replace the existing Chadwicks Builders Merchants with a modern residential and commercial development.
A new residential development is underway on Coleville Road, Clonmel. Developed by Torca Homes, the scheme had amendments approved by An Bord Pleanála in October 2024.
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.
Property planning varies from country to country and depending on the efficiencies of the application process it can greatly affect the design, construction, and delivery of new developments in urban and suburban areas.
Following the publication of the 3rd Edition of BRE Guidelines in June 2022, it is now a requirement to include trees within a daylight and sunlight assessment. Depending on the metrics being assessed for Impact Assessments or Scheme Performance, evergreen and deciduous trees need to be included in different states within the analytical 3D model.
For 3DDB, the Navigation Square Office project was a combination of creative flair and ability, careful planning with a seasoning of thinking outside the box! The final product needed to grab the attention and interest of potential tenants right away and to provide a clear overview of the impressive floor area of this office scheme.
One of the most controversial buildings in Dublin, O’Connell Bridge House, aka. the “Heineken Building”, has a rich history dating back to the 1960s. Read more!
There are various stages involved in the production of a comprehensive daylight and sunlight assessment. From building the detailed analytical 3D model to writing the final report, a huge amount of work and understanding of data takes place during the course of a project.
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is transitioning from a ‘modern way’ to design, build, and manage construction projects to a ‘compulsory way’ for all projects, big and small.
