DocumentsPartnerships and Engagement
The LDA partners with city and county councils on new housing projects and related amenities, using its expertise and resources to advance developments on land owned by local authorities.
Notable examples of this approach in action includes partnerships with Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council, which delivered the award-winning Shanganagh Castle Estate, the Donore Project with Dublin City Council at St Teresa's Gardens, and Mungret Park View with Limerick City & County Council.
The LDA has engaged with other State bodies to support its programme of acquiring under-utilised state-owned land. This has resulted in transfer processes for sites including a Cork Docklands site (BnM), Wilton, Cork (ESB), Kilbarry, Cork (IDA) and The Lightworks, Dock Road, Limerick (Gas Networks Ireland).
The Agency's Register of Relevant Public Land, a public web map showing all relevant public lands, and Report on Relevant Public Land have supported the Agency to identify relevant public land for new housing developments.
Under the terms of the LDA's Project Tosaigh initiative, the LDA works closely with homebuilders, providing the financial impetus they need to complete housing projects that are then either owned by the LDA and rented to eligible candidates on a cost rental basis or sold to new owners as affordable purchase with the State taking an equity share.

The LDA takes a proactive, inclusive approach to community and stakeholder engagement. Stakeholder views vary, and the LDA is committed to finding resolutions that balance local concerns with the wider public interest in delivering sustainable, affordable and cost rental housing. Each engagement process is tailored to the specific project, with its scale and methods adjusted to suit.
