Limerick's first new housing development under the coming Regeneration programme will begin in April.

A request for tenders for the building programme will go out this week as Regeneration advertised publicly for tenders for this new housing development at Cliona Park, Moyross, which will be the first building project to commence under the remit of the Agencies since they were established in late 2007.

The development is the first of 26 projects, with an investment total of €337m, which will be delivered under Phase One of the Limerick Regeneration Programme over the next four and a half years.

The Moyross project will see a mix of 33 units in all, comprising 13 houses (mix of two and three bedrooms) and a courtyard style sheltered development for the elderly of 20 one and two bedroom apartments.

It is anticipated that construction work on the project will commence in April, with a completion date scheduled for Autumn 2012.
