LDA to open applications for first phase of almost 400 cost rental homes in Adamstown

The Land Development Agency (LDA) has announced the opening of applications for the first phase of almost 400 cost rental homes in Adamstown.

The 392 homes are located at The Crossings in Adamstown, Lucan.

The application process for a first phase of 248 A-rated homes at The Crossings will be launched on Wednesday 7 January  2026 at 12pm, and eligible applicants can apply through the LDA website.

The 248 homes involved in the first phase include 9 studio apartments, 120 one-bedroom, 116 two-bedroom and 3 three-bedroom apartments.

Cost rental is a relatively new tenure, which provides a secure, long term rental option with rents at least 25% below market rates.

It is designed to assist those who do not quality for other state supports, but who are struggling to afford to rent in the private market.

Monthly rents for the apartments at The Crossings start at €1,024 for a studio and €1,380 for a one-bedroom apartment.

Monthly rents for a two-bedroom apartment start at €1,550 and the rent for a three-bedroom apartment is €1,792.

Would-be applicants are advised to go to the LDA’s website for further information including details of the application process and requirements, the eligibility criteria and the number of occupants allowed for each apartment type.

Further application phases will be launched in the coming months, and all information will be made available on the LDA website.

The apartments at The Crossings are being delivered as part of the LDA’s homebuilder partnerships initiative, known as Project Tosaigh, whereby the LDA partners with homebuilders to provide the financial stimulus needed to complete housing projects. The Crossings is being delivered by the LDA in partnership with Evara.

Evara is the lead developer in Adamstown Strategic Development Zone (SDZ) and The Crossings is a new urban town and retail centre, developed and delivered by Evara to serve as the central core of the Adamstown area.

John Coleman, Chief Executive of the LDA said: “The LDA is delighted to be delivering more cost rental homes in Dublin.  These fantastic apartments combine high quality homes with a great location and ample amenities.  The Crossings is well served with supermarkets, cafes and other retail outlets within the development, as well as excellent transport links to nearby Lucan, Celbridge and Leixlip.

These new A-rated apartments are being made available at well below market rents and provide security of tenure for renters.  The LDA is continuing to expand its pipeline, in Dublin and in Cork, Galway and Limerick, delivering high quality homes at affordable rents where they are most needed.  I would like to thank Evara for partnering with us on this great development”.

Michael Hynes, Chief Executive of Evara said: “We are delighted to have partnered with the LDA on the delivery of the Agency’s cost rental apartments at The Crossings in Adamstown. This development and the LDA’s new tenants are going to add greatly to the new town centre we have created at the heart of Adamstown. The Crossings is a great place to live. It’s well-served by transport links, community facilities, retail outlets and new schools. We are proud to have delivered this project for the LDA, and we are looking forward to welcoming the LDA’s new tenants to the vibrant and growing community in The Crossings and the wider Adamstown area.”
