270 homes for Adamstown
One of the three developers involved in the construction of a new town in south Dublin near Lucan has submitted plans for over 270 residential units on the site.
The €2 billion Adamstown development includes the construction of 10,000 houses in total, which will be built in 14 separate phases of between 300 and 1,000 units and will eventually be home to 20,000 people.
Michael Whelan's Maplewood Developments has lodged plans with South Dublin County Council for phase three of Adamstown. The developer, seeking permission to build 271 houses and apartments on a 5.69-hectare site, owns approximately 30 per cent of the land.
Joe O'Reilly's Castlethorn controls 60 per cent of the development site. Tierra, a family-run firm headed by Dubliner John McGreevey, owns 10 per cent of the land in Adamstown. South Dublin County Council has approved Castlethorn's first planning application in respect of some 330 homes for the initial phase of the development.
