New tenants began moving into the state of the art housing units following completion in September 2022.
All of the houses and apartments are now occupied, and offer unique energy saving measures for people living there.
The units have a BER A2energy rating, with additional benefits to tenants including seven Photovoltaic (PV) panels on each roof of the eight houses.
Each of the 14 apartments have five PV panels, with a total of 70 panels fitted to the apartment blocks.
These measures have already led to reduced energy costs for tenants at the Cox's Demesne development.
