Work Complete On New Social Homes In Dublin

Work has been completed on almost 80 new social homes and a range of community amenities in Dublin.

The first phase of the Charlemont Street Regeneration Project has been completed which has been progressed through a partnership between McGarrell Reilly and Dublin City Council.

Phase one has seen the delivery of 79 new high quality social housing units on the site, along with a range of community facilities. These include a large community centre featuring a sports hall with indoor five-a-side pitch, changing rooms and stage facilities, as well as office space with kitchen area and reception area. The complex will also feature a private courtyard and play area for residents. All remaining residents of Tom Kelly Road flats, some of whom have lived there since they opened in 1969, will move to new and upgraded homes.

Work on the project has been proceeding ahead of schedule, and the 79 units being delivered up front will be ready for occupation in the coming weeks.

Sean Reilly, Executive Chairman of McGarrell Reilly said: "McGarrell Reilly is delighted to have partnered with Dublin City Council to deliver these 79 state of the art social housing units ahead of construction schedule, along with the range of community facilities. From the outset we have worked closely with Dublin City Council to understand the requirements of the community, delivering the social housing and community facilities element up front. McGarrell Reilly is proud to have brought our experience and professionalism to bear in the delivery of this project. Looking ahead, we are excited to be entering the new phase of development where we will continue the total regeneration and transformation of these under-utilised 5 acres in the heart of the city to provide a vibrant live, work and play area."
