Planning permission was approved for 153 new Build to Rent homes at an 11-acre site at St Marnock’s Bay in Portmarnock. The site is opposite to another Quintain Ireland development – Dún Sí, which consists of 150 homes. The area is well known for its beach and world-famous golf course, roughly 14 kilometres north of Dublin city centre.
The newly approved homes will provide residents with a travel time of less than 20 minutes by Dart to Connolly Station and are located just minutes from Dublin Airport, the Port Tunnel, the M1 and the M50. Partnering with DRES Developments to develop the site, the first homes are set to hit the market this summer.
“We are very pleased to have secured this planning approval which takes us a step closer to achieving our wider vision of delivering almost 1,000 new homes in Portmarnock. Quintain Ireland’s commitment is to create attractive and sustainable communities delivering the right mix of housing alongside high-quality amenities.”
Michael Hynes, Joint Managing Partner, Quintain Ireland
