Developed by QCC Properties, the York Road development will provide a mix of one and two-bedroom apartments.
Dublin City Council has today officially launched 26 new social homes. The development, launched by the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Daryl Barron in the presence of the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration Jim O’Callaghan TD, Public Representatives, Dublin City Council Officials and Residents, aims to create a vibrant, inclusive and sustainable community.
The development offers A-rated, sustainable homes thoughtfully designed to support comfortable, modern living with a strong focus on community.
A well-connected location
The development is well placed in relation to a wide range of local amenities and services, including:
- Ringsend Park and Ringsend Library, providing access to green space, community facilities and local services.
- A wide variety of leisure, cultural and recreational facilities in the Grand Canal Dock area.
- Excellent public transport links to Dublin city centre and surrounding areas, giving residents convenient access to employment, education and amenities.
The York Road development was delivered by Dublin City Council in partnership with QCC Properties and funded by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage.
The development is now fully occupied, with new residents settling in and beginning to make the place their own. A warm sense of community is already taking root, as neighbours connect, families put down roots, and a new chapter begins.
Lord Mayor of Dublin Daryl Barron said:
“The official opening of this development here in along York Road marks another important milestone in our ongoing work to deliver inclusive, sustainable housing across Dublin City. These 26 high-quality, secure homes will make a lasting difference to the families and individuals who now call this place home. This project reflects our shared commitment to building vibrant, well-connected communities, and stands as a testament to what can be achieved through strong partnership between Dublin City Council and the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage.”
Mick Mulhern, Dublin City Council, Assistant Chief Executive said:
“I’m delighted to mark the official opening of this fantastic new housing development on York Road. This development will add significantly to what is an already thriving community and will provide much needed new social homes for our citizens. I would like to thank the Minister for Housing James Browne TD, the officials in the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage and QCC Properties for working with us on this project. Finally, I would like to extend my best wishes to all the new residents as they embark on this exciting new chapter in their new homes.”
Chairperson of the Housing & Social Inclusion Strategic Policy Committee, Cllr. Deirdre Heney said:
“The delivery of these 26 new social homes has been made possible through Dublin City Council’s active engagement with the private sector, creating opportunities to increase housing supply where it’s needed most. Today’s ceremony marks a key milestone and highlights Dublin City Council’s ongoing commitment to working with partners to deliver quality social and affordable homes that support people, families, and communities across the city. I warmly wish the new residents every happiness and hope their new homes bring comfort, security, and a strong sense of place.”
