Project Description
Full Details- https://donoreproject.ie/
The Project, which will include 542 homes as well as a new creche, community spaces and landscaped public areas, is being built on the former St. Teresa’s Gardens site, located off Donore Avenue in Dublin 8, adjacent to the historic Liberties.
Planning permission for the development was granted in June 2023, and once complete, it will deliver 389 cost-rental and 153 social homes.
These initial enabling works are complete, with the main contract for construction have been awarded to John Paul Construction and are underway.
The LDA design approach has been inclusive and responsive to the local context and the opportunity that the site presents for a new distinct and integrated urban community.
Enabling works are nearing on the site of a landmark Dublin development being delivered jointly by the LDA and DCC.

Constructed in the 1950’s, St. Teresa’s Gardens was one of the largest public housing complexes built by Dublin City Council (DCC).
The development plan for the area incorporates the St. Teresa’s Gardens Lands and the adjacent Player Wills and Bailey Gibson sites which are owned by Hines. The Framework represents a commitment to further the regeneration of the area, including its integration to the surrounding urban area by the various landowners.
The Framework Plan facilitates the redevelopment of the individual sites and the creation of an entirely new neighbourhood, capable of setting its own character, which will include the provision of a multi-sport playing pitch, community facilities and retail. The lands provide a unique opportunity to transform the area into a new, welcoming, sustainable urban community with a distinctive identity which will be integrated into the Donore Project and wider Dublin 8 community.
