Quintain gets green light for first Irish housing project

Quintain has been given planning for its first job across the Irish Sea.

The deal is a £69m scheme in north Dublin involving 153 homes.

The 11-acre site, located in Portmarnock and next to another planned Quintain scheme at Dún Sí, is part of the developer’s wider plan to build more than 9,000 homes across four sites in the Greater Dublin area.

The developer expanded its operations into Ireland in November last year.

The newly approved homes, designed by architect BKD, will provide residents with links to Connolly station, Dublin Airport and the Port Tunnel.

Construction of the 153 homes in Portmarnock is expected to be complete in 2022.

Quintain’s three other sites are located at Adamstown, Clonburris and Cherrywood, and when developed will make the firm the third largest housebuilder in Ireland.

Quintain is also working on the UK’s largest build to rent development with over 5,000 rental homes and 8,400 homes in total at Wembley Park in north-west London.
