Construction underway of 355 new homes in Adamstown

By Stephen Holland, DublinLive

Tuath Housing and Evara have teamed up to deliver 355 new homes in west Dublin .

With construction underway in Adamstown, the new homes comprises seven studios, 164 one-bedroom and 184 two-bedroom apartments supporting the delivery of social and cost rental housing. The first homes are due for completion in 2027 with the remaining homes being delivered in 2028.

The homes will be owned and managed by Tuath, Ireland’s largest Approved Housing Body, and are being developed by Evara at the Aderrig development. Aderrig occupies a 2.16-hectare site and is located within a five-minute walk of Adamstown train station.

Planning permission for the project was granted by South Dublin County Council in November 2023, with a subsequent amendment approved in June 2024 increasing the total number of homes to 355. Located within the Adamstown Strategic Development Zone (SDZ), Evara is a lead developer and has already delivered over 2,800 homes in Adamstown in addition to The Crossings town centre, parks, infrastructure, sports pitches, schools and other amenities.

In addition to the Tuath project at Aderrig, Evara is also in the process of completing 80 new apartments for Tuath at St Helen’s Plaza in Adamstown while Evara recently received planning permission for a major new 877 housing and apartment development at Adamstown Boulevard.

Backed by investment firm TPG, Evara is investing €2 billion to deliver more than 7,000 new homes over the next five years. The company has delivered more than 3,000 homes to date in the Greater Dublin Area and is targeting a new annual output of 1,500 homes.

Tuath manages more than 17,500 homes nationally, including more than 2,000 cost rental homes, providing secure, long-term housing to some 42,000 people in every county nationwide. This latest project strengthens their ongoing partnership with Evara, which also includes a number of Part V transactions completed across Evara’s wider land portfolio.

Chief Executive Officer of Evara Michael Hynes said: “This is an exciting announcement for Evara and a further strengthening of our existing relationship with Tuath Housing. Once complete, this apartment development will offer residents a high standard of living at the heart of Adamstown.

“Evara has been central to delivering new homes, infrastructure and amenities at Adamstown, including The Crossings town centre, and we are pleased to see new developments and their new occupants adding to the vibrancy of what is already a great community.”

Martin Loughran, Chief Development & Commercial Officer of Tuath added: “This partnership with Evara will support the delivery of 355 high-quality homes in Adamstown, ensuring long-term housing security and affordability for those in need. By working closely with delivery partners and supporting construction, we can accelerate supply while achieving value for money and building sustainable, well-connected communities.”
