This development in Lucan delivers 99 energy-efficient homes and a contemporary community centre, located off Balgaddy Road between Foxborough Lawn and Tor an Rí Walk. The scheme comprises two-storey houses, duplexes, and triplexes built in masonry, with timber or precast floors and integrated soundproofing. All homes are equipped with air source heat pumps, reflecting a strong sustainability focus. Landscaped open spaces, a play park, and a large green area above an attenuation tank enhance the sense of community, supported by new roads, footpaths, home zones, and EV charging infrastructure. The community centre forms the heart of the development, providing offices, a café with commercial kitchen, reception and PA system, a 140-capacity hall, flexible meeting space, and a crèche with outdoor play area — creating a vital social hub for the growing neighbourhood.
