There are currently 4,989 housing units earmarked for sites in the South-West Dublin suburbs of Tallaght and Citywest. The 11 projects will provide 454 units on average per scheme.

The significant housing development is part of the Tallaght Town Centre Local Area Plan which aims to provide 5,000 new homes by 2026, and up to 12,800 further down the line.

Over 90% of the 4,989 homes are being developed by private companies with 1 scheme being developed by South Dublin County Council which will provide 133 social and affordable units at Fourth Avenue and Belgard Square North. Under the direction of South Dublin County Council and An Bord Pleanála, at least 10% of each privately developed scheme will be allocated to social and affordable units.

Of the 11 projects, only 2 have reached the construction phase. 7 projects have received planning approval in the past 2 years but have yet to break ground. 1 project of 421 units at Cooldown Commons has been submitted to South Dublin County Council for planning approval. 1 project of 1,104 units at Cookstown Castle has recently been refused permission but the developers are expected to submit a new application with a revised design.

The 4,989 units will comprise 4,374 apartments (88%), 403 student bed spaces (8%), and 212 houses (4%). The apartments consist of 685 studios, 1516 one-bed units, 2283 two-bed units, and 293 three-bed units. The 403 student bed spaces comprise both studios and shared dorms. The houses consist of 51 two-bed units, 113 three-bed units, and 48 four-bed units.

The majority of the developments feature retail units, creches, and commercial units. Large portions of the schemes will be allocated to public open spaces in the form of plazas, open greens, and playgrounds.

The population of Tallaght’s town centre has grown by 46% since 2011, from 4,202 to 6,126. Almost 18,000 people are employed in the wider area. Tallaght is host to several major institutions including Tallaght Hospital, Technological University Dublin/ Tallaght Campus- (TUD/TC), South Dublin County Council headquarters, Tallaght Stadium, and the head office of the Dublin and Dun Laoghaire Education and Training Board. The town is well connected to Dublin city by bus services and the Red Line of the Luas.
