Planning sought for 287 ‘build -to-rent’ apartments in Stillorgan

A planning application for 287 “build-to-rent” apartments, including studios, co-working and communal leisure areas, has been lodged with Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council.

The proposed Strategic Housing Development is to be in six blocks at the Grange development between Brewery Road and the N11 in Stillorgan.

Under the Strategic Housing Development system applications for schemes of more than 100 homes, or blocks of 200 student or co-living spaces, are made directly to An Bórd Pleanála, bypassing the local authority planning phase.

The applicant is understood to be prominent developer Kennedy Wilson Europe, acting on behalf of two of its investment funds.
