NEW VIBRANT NEIGHBOURHOOD FOR CLONDALKIN

The Grange is a new development proposed for Clondalkin with over 1,600 high quality homes, of which approx. 600 units will be affordable, alongside new retail/commercial facilities, community and childcare facilities, and recreational areas. With a site reserved for a primary school, this promises to be one of the most exciting developments in Clondalkin in many years.

The location of the development offers many key advantages

Well served by transport infrastructure.

The site is located at the junction of the New Nangor Road and the recently completed Outer Ring Road which connects the N7 to the N4 at Lucan. It will also be served by the a proposed new Railway Stations at Kishogue and Fonthill- part of the Kildare Route Project as well as the proposed Metro which will provide a direct link to Tallaght to the South and Liffey Valley, D.C.U. and Dublin Airport to the North.

Quality employment opportunities locally

The development is adjacent to Grange Castle Business Park. This is a high quality business location providing employment in a range of sectors particularly in the fields of Information Technology and Bio-Pharma. Major multi national companies presently located there include Wyeth International, Takeda Inc. and I.A.W.S.

Broad range of local sporting and leisure facilities

The Grange adjoins the Corkagh Regional Park, which includes 10 playing pitches for Gaelic in games and soccer. In addition, the park is an immensely popular walking area with its dense patches of mixed woodlands, landscape areas including a walled rose garden, and fishpond. It also includes the local Community/Leisure facility. Notwithstanding the above, this 400-acre open space has substantial capacity for the expansion of a wide range of passive, active and recreational activities.

The Grange Castle Golf Course adjoins the development. This is an 18-hole course set in mature grounds with proposals for a 4-Star Hotel, Leisure Centre, new Clubhouse and a broad range of high-end housing options and a golf course extension to 27 holes. Also within close range of the new development is a newly refurbished swimming pool.
