Cherry Orchard Point
Construction will begin on 137 new Affordable Purchase homes at Cherry Orchard Point in west Dublin.
The homes are part of Phase 2 of Cherry Orchard Point; a new neighbourhood being developed in Dublin 10 by the LDA in partnership with DCC, which will deliver more than 1,200 homes. Phase 1 of Cherry Orchard Point is already under construction.
The contractor, John Sisk & Son, has commenced work on 389 of a total of 708 affordable homes as part of Phase 1A. As part of Phase 2, B&C Contractors have now been appointed to commence work on 137 new homes, all of which will be made available for sale through the Local Authority Affordable Purchase Scheme, managed by Dublin City Council and the LDA.
The new homes will be delivered across six blocks, which include 88 three-bedroom houses, 13 two-bedroom houses, 18 three-bedroom duplex apartments and 18 two-bed duplex apartments. Construction is due to start in the coming weeks.
Cherry Orchard Point is being developed by the LDA and Dublin City Council on a total of over 13-hectares of land owned by Dublin City Council. Phase 1 and Phase 2 involve the planned development of an 11.41-hectare site located next to Park West & Cherry Orchard Railway Station.
Once complete, Cherry Orchard Point will deliver 1,200 homes and feature landscaped open spaces, including a plaza, multipurpose amenity lawn, outdoor fitness trail, multipurpose games area and a playground. The development is beside the M50 and within easy reach of a host of businesses and major employers, including those located at Park West Business Park.

Lord Mayor of Dublin, Councillor Ray McAdam said: “This is another important step forward for housing delivery in Dublin. Cherry Orchard Point is not just about building homes. It is about building a new neighbourhood, a new community, and a new future for this part of our city.
“The commencement of Phase 2 will see 137 affordable purchase homes move from plan to reality, giving more people and families the chance to put down roots and call Dublin home. These will be A rated homes, close to public transport, employment, community facilities, childcare, retail, parks and open spaces. That is what good city building looks like.
“I want to acknowledge the Land Development Agency, Dublin City Council, and all involved in bringing this project forward. Across all phases, Cherry Orchard Point will deliver 1,200 homes, but its real success will be measured in lives changed, families settled, and a community strengthened.
“As Lord Mayor, I want Dublin to build with ambition, plan with care, and deliver with urgency. Cherry Orchard Point is a powerful example of that ambition in action, and I look forward to seeing this new neighbourhood grow into a vibrant, inclusive and lasting part of Dublin’s future.”

John Coleman, Chief Executive of the LDA said: “We are pleased to announce the start of construction on Phase 2 of Cherry Orchard Point. This latest phase is part of an overall development that will transform a major underutilised site in a key part of west Dublin into a new well-served, well-connected and vibrant neighbourhood.
“Working in partnership with Dublin City Council, we already have Phase 1 underway, so it’s great to see further progress happening at speed and scale. Cherry Orchard Point is one of a series of affordable housing projects we are now working on with Dublin City Council and the progress being made shows how effective collaboration can help address the country’s housing need.”
