We are thrilled to announce that planning permission has been granted for a significant Strategic Housing Development in Raheen, Limerick. Lawlor Burns and Associates are delighted to be providing our our project management and cost management services for this project.
Plans for the development include almost 400 residential units, consisting of 202 houses, and 182 apartments and duplexes. This will help to tackle Limerick housing pressures and create housing for all manner of homeowners, from first-time buyers, to cost rental properties and social housing. The development will also include a creche facility which will provide ample childcare spaces for families in the area.
Sustainability will be at the forefront of this project, with almost a third of the former greenfield site to be dedicated towards open spaces for residents to enjoy. This will include large courtyards, wooded areas, cycle pathways, pedestrianised walkways and a playground for children. A perimeter cycle track and more than 300 spaces for bicycle parking will also be provided.
Speaking on the approved planning, our Managing Director Gary Lawlor said “This development will see 202 houses; 156 Apartments and 26 duplexes delivered. By adding this housing stock, it will help to ease the housing pressure in the local vicinity, making rents and housing more affordable for others. It will also mean that Limerick can remain competitive in attracting large scale foreign direct investment into Our City.
We are pleased that this development has received planning permission and we now hope to move to construction as soon as possible. We want to thank the local residents and public representatives for their engagement with us during this planning process and we will continue to engage and consult with them during the construction phase of this project.”
