A new affordable housing scheme has been launched in Kilnap, Old Mallow Road by Cork City Council in partnership with construction company Murnane and O'Shea Ltd.

The 'Glenbride' development will comprise 86 A2 energy-rated, architect-designed homes in total which are anticipated to be highly sought after. The first phase will consist of 38 affordable homes, available for sale via Cork City Council's Affordable Purchase Scheme, offering a selection of three-bedroom semi-detached houses.

Discussing the launch of this scheme, Brian Geaney, Assistant Chief Executive of Cork City Council, said: "Cork City Council is delighted to partner with Murnane and O'Shea Ltd to deliver this latest Affordable Housing development. The council has been extensively involved in providing the infrastructure required to enable housing construction on this site, and we are now able to offer a major Affordable Housing Scheme on this transformed greenfield site— a prime location on the city's doorstep. It will deliver an exciting new neighbourhood and provide a choice of quality new homes, while also bringing social and economic investment into the local community."

Applications may be submitted between 12pm on Wednesday, June 18 and 12am on Wednesday, July 9 via the online application portal available at www.glenbride.ie.
