Tenant experience
Airton Road has been designed with tenants’ quality of life at its core. Each home features modern appliances, an energy-efficient A-rate BER, with an exhaust air heat pump system, and a separate continuous central extract ventilation system. Shared amenity spaces will include a reception and co-working space.
Situated in the heart of Tallaght, the development benefits from access to a wide range of local amenities including schools, shops, and public transport. Tenants will also have access to dedicated on-site supports, including a Tenant Relations Officer, Community Support Worker, and Building Supervisor, helping to ensure a smooth move-in process and a strong sense of community from day one. There is also underground parking provided.
Located just off the M50, Airton Road is within easy reach of major shopping centres including The Square Tallaght, as well as Swords and Blanchardstown, and is within commuting distance of Dublin City Centre and Dublin Airport. The area is well served by public transports, including the Red Line Luas and Dublin Bus routes such as the 27, 150, 74, 82 and 65.
