 • Collins Avenue, Dublin 9  –Infill site, 106 units; the Collins Avenue Bring Centre, a waste collection centre and depot managed by Dublin City Council was located at the site before this facility was relocated to Ballymun. Three apartment blocks comprising a total of 106 residential units with 49 no. 1 bed, 37 no. 2 bed and 20 no. 3 bed.

• Church of the Annunciation, Finglas, Dublin 11 – Brownfield site, 110 Older Persons Residential Units; the former Church on Cardiffsbridge Road was demolished in 2021 and as such the site is now a ‘brownfield site’, currently vacant with hoarding around it.

Strategic Development Regeneration Area specifically identifies the former Church as a suitable site for providing Older Person’s Housing.

The site has been divided into three sections with the northern third being allocated for a more modest replacement church. The southern section is for a potential Primary Care Centre.

The construction will provide one apartment block, ranging from 4 to 5 storeys, containing 106 no. 1-bed and 4 no. 2-bed.
