Agent Vincent Finnegan is guiding €3.5 million for a 0.64 acre site in Rathfarnham, Dublin 14, with full planning permission for the development of 32 apartments .

Located at Loreto Terrace, and within a short walk of Rathfarnham village, the proposed scheme is expected by the selling agent to appeal to both developers targeting the traditional build-to-sell market and investors focused on the fast-growing private rented sector market.

The selling agent expects the completed development to have a large target market, with strong interest coming from 'empty nesters' and other downsizers

The current planning permission provides for the delivery of a three-storey apartment building comprising 32 generously-sized units. The scheme will consist of 28 two-bed units, two three-bed units and two one-bed units. The majority of the two-bed apartment will be over 80sq m in size, and most will have a dual aspect. There is allocated parking and bike storage.

The selling agent expects the completed development to have a large target market, with strong interest coming from “empty nesters” and other downsizers owing to its location within one of Dublin’s most sought-after residential areas.
