Stapolin Square | Baldoyle, Dublin 13

Stapolin Square is a major new residential development located to the east of Clongriffin Station in north Dublin, adjacent to the train station and existing transport links.
The 18‑hectare site was acquired by the Land Development Agency (LDA) with existing planning permission for approximately 2,000 new homes. In addition to housing, the development will deliver two crèches, commercial units, enhanced transport facilities, and high‑quality pedestrian and cycle connections.

A key feature of the project is a large central park providing recreational, play, and fitness spaces for residents, complemented by a series of smaller pocket parks designed to enhance local amenities and community wellbeing.

Given the scale and ambition of Stapolin Square, the project is being delivered through a number of workstreams, with work progressing concurrently across each to ensure timely and coordinated delivery.

Consultation was recently undertaken on this development with a Public Information document (here) highlighting key information and the project team arranging drop-in clinics for the community to find out more from the team.

You can read the findings from this Public Consultation period here.

Workstream 1 will deliver 596 new homes and transform Stapolin Square into a vibrant, fully pedestrianised public space. The redesigned square will provide permanent, universally accessible (Part M compliant) access to Clongriffin Station, significantly improving connectivity and accessibility for residents and visitors.

The development will also include new commercial and retail units, a crèche, and a dedicated bus ramp linking Stapolin Square directly to Clongriffin Station. As part of these enhancements, the existing temporary station access route will be removed, creating a safer, more accessible, and higher-quality public realm.

A planning amendment was granted on 17 September 2026 to support the delivery of this workstream. The Land Development Agency (LDA) has commenced the detailed design process and is progressing preparations for the procurement and tendering of construction works in 2027.

The LDA has a dedicated Community Liaison Office which can be contacted at [email protected]

Workstream 2 will deliver approximately 279 new homes, alongside key amenities and infrastructure that will support the continued growth and development of the community.

A central feature of this phase is the delivery of Haggard Park (1.85 hectares), which will include a multi use games area, skate park, playground, outdoor fitness facilities, and scenic walking trails. The development will also provide a network of pocket parks and a linear park, creating high-quality open spaces for recreation and wellbeing.

In addition, a new foul pump station will be constructed to support both the wider Stapolin development and the existing community, ensuring the necessary infrastructure is in place to accommodate future growth.

Construction has commenced with the LDA’s Delivery Partner. Further information on progress and upcoming works will be provided through regular project updates and newsletters.

This stage relates to improvements to the existing temporary access tower at Clongriffin Station, which are being delivered to address legacy access issues and enhance the user experience.

The improvements include enhanced security measures, clearer signage with contact details, prompt and regular maintenance to ensure reliable access, and revised operating hours. Further details on these upgrades are available in this newsletter.

The National Transport Authority (NTA) successfully delivered the lift replacement works and has worked closely with the Land Development Agency (LDA) on this element of the project. Ongoing monitoring and management of the lift will be undertaken by the NTA.

A further approximately 1,100 new homes will be delivered as part of the overall Stapolin development, helping to meet housing needs while supporting the creation of a sustainable and well-connected community.

To support the delivery of these future phases, the Land Development Agency (LDA) has appointed of a multidisciplinary design team. The team is undertaking a comprehensive review of the existing planning permissions, alongside an assessment of current and future housing needs, to ensure the development responds to evolving policy objectives, housing demand, and community requirements. This review will inform updated proposals and support the efficient and coordinated delivery of the remaining development lands.
