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.

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.

Dublin City Council has approved plans for a mixed-use development at the corner of South Circular Road and Dolphin’s Barn Street in Dublin 8. The project aims to transform the site by replacing derelict buildings with a part two-storey to part eight-storey scheme, designated for social and affordable housing.

Plans have been submitted for a new apartment/hostel development near Chancery Street in Dublin 7. Bordered by a Dublin City Council car park to the north and Chancery Street to the south, the site is set to be transformed into a residential and tourist facility.

The saying “a picture paints a thousand words” has never been more appropriate when it comes to showcasing a property. The greatest creative writers in the world cannot describe a building as vividly and accurately as a visual showcase of a space.

3D architectural walkthroughs have transformed the way real estate agents and AEC professionals present designs and layouts to their target audience. They eliminate the need to rely on a client’s imagination, or interpretation, by allowing them to experience a virtual walkthrough of a space before it is built.

Guidelines and standards for daylight and sunlight assessments have been very confusing over the past number of years. This is because, particularly in Ireland, reference to now superseded daylight and sunlight documentation still remains in some government guidelines for property development.

Virtual tours are a key ingredient in property marketing strategies. These interactive experiences are used to showcase both built spaces and for properties that are still under construction or in the design phase.

Off-plans 360 virtual tours allow a user to move through the future planned space from point to point of internal and external areas. These 360 tours give users a fully immersive experience and are designed to a photo-realistic standard.

Understanding Daylight and Sunlight assessments can be difficult. They involve a huge amount of work from skilled analysts to understand the large quantity of data and to collate it into a clear and concise understanding of how a proposed property development will perform when built.
