Tánaiste, Simon Harris added:
“This development represents over €90 million in Government-backed investment, ensuring that families can access high‑quality, homes at prices they can afford. Through the Starter Homes scheme, 372 households will have the opportunity to purchase a new home at a significantly reduced cost, while 125 new social homes will provide secure, long‑term housing for those who need it most.
“Foothills, Killinarden shows what strong partnership can achieve — high quality homes, new amenities, and a sustainable neighbourhood built for the future. Housing remains one of our greatest challenges, and developments like this demonstrate the progress being made under Delivering Homes, Building Communities 2025–2030.
“I want to thank everyone involved, and I look forward to seeing these homes completed and thriving.”
Minster Browne emphasised:
“This development is about more than bricks and mortar, it is about building sustainable, well-connected neighbourhoods with the services, amenities, and green spaces that allow communities to thrive.
“Foothills, Killinarden shows what can be achieved when Government, local authorities, and delivery partners work together with ambition and urgency.
“The Government’s Starter Homes Programme continues to scale up nationwide, with the Land Development Agency, local authorities, and delivery partners expanding the pipeline of affordable homes, and I am determined that this continues.”
Foothills, Killinarden will provide a mix of 2-, 3-, and 4-bedroom homes, designed to the highest standards of energy efficiency and long-term sustainability. The development’s location offers excellent connectivity, situated minutes from Dublin Bus routes, LUAS stops, Tallaght Village, and a wide range of schools, retail, and recreational amenities.
Beyond housing, the project will deliver extensive community benefits, including over 26 hectares of open space and amenities, a new community facility, an additional crèche and new facilities for the local soccer club, including new all-weather pitches.
It is being delivered in conjunction with South Dublin County Council together with D/RES Properties, Sisk and Arden.
