Project Description
The Land Development Agency (LDA) has appointed a multi-disciplinary design team for a new residential development at Limerick’s Docklands.
The 1.2 hectare site, located on the junction of Dock Rd and O’Curry Street has the potential to deliver almost 290 new affordable homes. The proposed homes will include a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments across three blocks. Landscaped gardens, green open areas and retail units will also be included in the plans.
Located beside the Dock Clock, the site is less than a 15-minute walk from Limerick city centre, with existing bus links connecting to primary and secondary schools, UL, University Hospital Limerick and the Crescent Shopping Centre.Many of the ornate features of the historic site, including the freestanding limestone wall, will be retained and incorporated into the design of the new development.
The LDA will publish the initial design plan for the Dock Road site in early 2025 and will host a series of information meetings and workshops to encourage residents, businesses and community groups to engage with and contribute to the design process. Subject to approval, construction could begin in 2027.
The LDA has a dedicated Community Liaison Officer (CLO) which can be contacted through the email address below.
