Construction on €500m Adamstown development begins

Construction on the €500 million urban development called The Crossings in Adamstown, west Dublin, has begun.

Quintain, the property developers behind the project, says this first phase of the scheme includes 279 apartments, two supermarkets, 20 retail units and five restaurant outlets.

According to the firm, Tesco has signed a lease for a 40,000 sq ft/3,700sqm store, which is set to open in January 2023, with a second leading supermarket anchor store set to open at the same time.

The 279-unit apartment complex is due to be completed in mid-2023.

Planning permission for a second phase of 185 apartments has been granted and further phases are planned for submission in late 2021 and early 2022.

In addition to the apartments at The Crossings, Quintain has a further 800 homes under construction or due to commence this year.

In June, Quintain completed and transferred ownership to South Dublin County Council of Tandy’s Lane Park with another 27-acre green open space – Airlie Park – set to open by the end of the year.

Michael Hynes, Joint Managing Partner, Quintain Ireland, said: “We look forward to welcoming Tesco as one of the anchor tenants at The Crossings, which will bring new homes and retail development just a minute’s walk from Adamstown station.

“This investment will contribute to the social fabric of the area,and is supported by the handover of Tandy’s Lane Park to South Dublin County Council.

“We are very confident in the strong level of demand there is to live in the area, which will be boosted by the new amenities we are delivering.”
