Residential Development Opportunity for 131 units in
Carlow Town – Ready to Go
Coonan Property are delighted to offer a ready to go residential development opportunity for 131 units in Carlow Town to the market, situated just two kilometres south of Carlow town centre. Carlow Town is the 12th largest urban centre in Ireland with a population of 27,000 and a prime retail and services town with easy access to Dublin.
The holding extends to approx. 14 acres (5.68 ha) and is primarily zoned with a Residential Objective in the Carlow Graiguecullen Joint Urban Local Area Plan 2024 – 2030. Recently the property has obtained the additional benefit of full planning permission for 131 units (113 no. houses and 18 no. own door duplexes) and is now ready for development.
This prime parcel of lands has fantastic road frontage along the Leighlin Road (approx. 325 metres) which cuts through the border between Laois and Carlow. The lands are strategically located adjacent to the part existing and part proposed ring road, just south of Carlow town.
Crossneen is minutes away from Carlow town and has speedy access to all the amenities that can be found in this thriving location. Carlow has fantastic connections to the rest of the country due to its position off the M9 motorway. Dublin City Centre can be reached by car in just over an hour, as can Dublin Airport. Rosslare is also only an hour and twenty minutes away on the N80, giving superb access to Rosslare Europort. There are good rail services in the area as Carlow is on the Dublin – Carlow – Waterford line with 12 trains from 6:30am daily to Dublin and 11 return, and for travel by bus there are several Bus Eireann and private bus routes to Dublin and many other towns.
The presence of South East Technological University (SETU), formed in 2022 and with a significant campus in Carlow, continues to support population growth and housing demand in the area.
This is a very accessible area which is prospering and in need of new residential developments.
This notable residential opportunity in a thriving location is For Sale by Tender on Wednesday, 22nd April at 12pm and guiding excess €5 million (exclusive).
Will Coonan of Coonan Property commented – “This is a prime residential development opportunity in a well-established commuter location. With full planning permission already in place for 131 homes, it presents an immediate opportunity for developers to deliver much needed housing in an area where demand remains particularly strong, especially from buyers commuting to Dublin and the wider region”.
The solicitor with the carriage of sale is Byrne Wallace Shields of 88 Harcourt Street, Dublin 2.
