Project Description
The Land Development Agency (LDA) has published draft plans for 348 new affordable homes at its newly acquired site in Wilton, Cork.
The development is based on former ESB lands on Sarsfield Road.
The proposed development will include 152 one-bed apartments, 168 two-bed apartments and 12 three-bed apartments, 16 three-bed townhouses, as well as a creche, landscaped open spaces and new pedestrian and cycle links. The homes will be a mix of cost rental and affordable purchase.
The new homes will be in an ideal location – just over 4km from Cork city centre, with great transport links. The site is next to Wilton Shopping Centre and only a short walk or cycle from Cork University Hospital, Munster Technological University, University College Cork, schools, shops and other local services.
An application for approval was submitted to Cork City Council in April 2025. Application details can be viewed at the following website www.ldawiltonlrd.com
Pending Council approval, the project will move to a post planning detailed design stage.
In line with our Community and Stakeholder Engagement Strategy, the LDA have completed a report on the recent consultation. Attached below
