Dublin 8: Convenience of location will attract buyers to a new apartment development in Kilmainham, Dublin 8, launching today from plans for the first time.
Kilmainham Bank is off Emmet Road, on the banks of the Camac River and within easy reach of Heuston station and the Quays.
Joint agents Hooke & MacDonald and Alan Redmond are handling sales. Prices for the first phase of 35 apartments start at €215,000 for 54 sq m (515 sq ft) one-bedroom units and €265,000 for 68 sq m (725 sq ft) two-bedroom units.
There is almost equal availability for both sizes.
The 91-unit development will comprise four blocks - two four-storey, one five-storey and one six-storey building. A crèche is planned for the complex.
The exterior of each block will be of brick and render, with good-sized balconies. Many apartments will enjoy a dual aspect and balconies will have views over landscaped gardens.
Attractive walkways will wend through the gardens to the river bank.
Heating will be Gold Shield electric and lifts will serve all floors. A security intercom system will also be in place.
Construction at Kilmainham Bank is under way and completions are expected in 2004.
The target market at this development is first-time buyers, although investors could be attracted by strong rental potential.
Plans are on view at the Baggot Street offices of Hooke & MacDonald.
