Mullingar-based Andrews Construction has been appointed as the contractor for the development with the first homes due to be delivered in 2025.

The housing includes 42 two-storey, three-bed houses, 177 apartments and duplexes consisting of 64 one-bed, 105 two-bed and eight three-bed units.

The development will also include a total of 4,684 sq m of communal open space, 314 car parking spaces and 482 bicycle parking spaces.
