This milestone marks a significant achievement in partnership with Cairn in delivering 224 new homes.
The development comprises a mix of 1-to-3-bedroom apartments, duplexes, and semi-detached dwelling houses, catering to a broad spectrum of residents and tenures. The scheme stands out for its innovative approach to localised placemaking.
Strategically situated adjacent to the town centre, the site benefits from a newly proposed central bus route, facilitating the growing local population and providing convenient regional access via the M7. The development is within walking distance to a range of essential amenities which includes creches, primary and secondary schools, parks, sports facilities, the University of Limerick, shopping centres, and a cinema.
In addition, the site features the Castletroy Urban Greenway, a strategic corridor that enhances pedestrian and cyclist access to local amenities. This accessibility is complemented by distinctive urban design, landscaped courtyards, and pedestrian-oriented linkages that enhance social spaces and connectivity. The landscaping for the development prioritises biodiversity and site master-planning that positions homes to maximize solar gain and attractive views. All homes are equipped with the latest thermal performance innovations, including efficient energy and heating systems, and boast an ‘A’ Building Energy Rating (BER).
Patrick O Toole, Managing Director of Meitheal Architects, said: “We are delighted to have partnered with Cairn in the delivery of 224 homes in Castletroy. With many units already occupied and the rest set to be completed by the end of September, this development exemplifies our commitment to innovative design and community-focused urban planning. The Mills is a testament to our dedication to creating sustainable, vibrant communities. This scheme is particularly innovative in terms of its placemaking and we thank our colleagues JFOC Architects in this regard.”
