Bluebell Waterways | Bluebell, Dublin 12

he Bluebell Waterways project is a strategic 2.8 Ha site at the heart of the community in Dublin 12, which has been identified for regeneration by Dublin City Council.

The 383 homes will be a mix of studio, one, two and three bed apartments in five apartment blocks ranging from 5 to 9 storeys. The homes will be a mix of social and cost rental. The development will also include community spaces, a crèche and landscaped open spaces.  

Bluebell Waterways is already well served by road and public transport services, and the new development will build on the existing connections by prioritising new footpaths and cycleways and creating a green corridor linking to the planned canal greenway.

The LDA and DCC had extensive consultation with locals, community groups and businesses to contribute to the design process. Planning permission was granted in September 2025.

Bluebell Waterways was named winner of the Housing/Community Project Award at the Irish Planning Institute Awards 2025. The award recognises residential developments that offer diverse tenures, mixed-use and high-quality design, with climate action and sustainable travel considerations.  

Construction is scheduled to start in 2026.
