City Council open 71 social homes in Springvale Grove

Dublin City Council announced the official opening of 71 new homes in Springvale Grove, Chapelizod, Dublin 20. The Lord Mayor of Dublin Daithí de Róiste cut the ribbon on the project on Tuesday.

The recently completed social housing development consists of 21 one-bedroom homes, 30 two-bedroom homes and 20 three-bedroom homes alongside a scout/community hall.

Designed by Levitt Bernstein Architects, the homes are arranged in six blocks and include landscaped communal amenity spaces.

The buildings range from three to five storeys in height and all homes are dual aspect and are designed and constructed to Near Zero Energy standards.

The development has the benefit of a wonderful location overlooking Phoenix Park to the north, and Chapelizod village and the river Liffey to the south.

Springvale Grove is well-connected to the city centre with bus routes and bicycle paths. Springvale Grove is part of a bundle of four large residential schemes delivered recently by Dublin City Council using Modern Methods of Construction   which utilised a system of factory manufactured light gauge steel panels.

This new development illustrates how the Council is using MMC and latest technologies to deliver homes at greater scale and density.

The delivery of the 71 homes and scout/community hall has been funded by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage.

Lord Mayor of Dublin, Daithí de Róiste said: “I am proud as the Lord Mayor to be welcoming the residents of Springvale Grove into their new homes in my local area.

I am delighted to see the new community that is being created here and I wish them enjoyment and happy times in their new homes.

“Springvale Grove is a testament to the partnership between the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage and Dublin City Council, where with vision and dedication, a community can thrive and neighbourhoods can flourish.”
