Wicklow town residential development site guiding at €1.75m

Developers and investors looking to take advantage of the demand for homes that are within reach of the capital and of first-time buyers’ budgets may be interested in a residential development site that has come to the market in Wicklow town.

Located immediately adjacent to the existing Mariners’ Point residential scheme on Greenhill Road, the site extends to 7.2 hectares (18 acres) in total and is being offered for sale through agent Knight Frank at a guide price of €1.75 million.
