New Development - Rathborne Boulevard D15

Any idea on availability and any updated pricing?

Last I saw was 3 bed terrace at 475k for 105sq m and 485k for the 102sq m semi d. Pricing looks high and just looks to be trying to harvest the HTB grant. The 4 beds look much better value in comparison at the 540k mark.

The blocks of apartments that are going to be built to the rear would put me off aswell. The pricing just feels on the high side but very few new builds inside the M50 I suppose.

I currently live in Castleknock. So I am very much interested in this development. My only concerns are antisocial behaviour around the area and the proximity to the train station. Does anyone have comments on this ?

Do you mind sharing why did the block of apartments being built put you off? I'm planning to buy one of the houses there ( at the back facing the buildings ) but I have no much knowledge about the Irish houses market.

One concern I have is in the future when the new buildings are finished selling the houses become hard and prices fall big. Do you think that's the case?

Firstly, the houses look great and any supply being delivered inside the M50 is great.

Just find it a bit curious that they are getting the houses done and sold at high prices and then the planning is there for 6 blocks along the canal with blocks ranging from "2 to 14 storeys". If you're at the back of the houses, will the light into your property be unaffected, what extent will your garden be overlooked?

Look, it'll likely be fine but given the model of social housing provision being undertaken by the state at present with HAP, enhanced leasing etc, who is going to rent these apartments that get built and likely forward sold to a REIT/Fund? Given the clamour now to build everything everywhere and the commentariat deriding anyone who expresses concern as a nimby etc, it just seems a bit of a risk that the neighbourhood will change five years down the track. Just my opinion on some of the concerns I'd have with tying up the bones of half a million in a property in this location.

Have they started building the new 14-storey block yet?

These are all great points, thanks for that. I did find the shadow plans in DCC website it says the buildings won't affect the light coming into the houses (please see attached). Per your experience, how trustable are these reports? If that report can be trusted sunlight isn't gonna be a problem after the buildings are built, in terms of being overlooked I don't think there's a way to have privacy as other houses have their back windows facing the gardens.

The main thing that concerns me as you mentioned is the social housing part of it, as there's going to be a lot of apartments allocated to that. To be fair, as I said I don't know much about it and I'd be very frustrated if I end up spending 500k+ in a family house that in a few years it's beside a messed up place with lots of anti social behaviour.

For those wondering how the state will look like after the buildings are up, see attached.

Thanks for sharing!

Can you share the source for these?

sure, https://planning.agileapplications.ie/dublincity/application-details/139867

Which one is castleknock station?

While the housing market is currently a joke, to be fair, this is the only new development inside the M50 that people can qualify for the H2B scheme with. It will probably be the only one until something happens with the market also.

We are hoping to move into our 3 bed house in phase 1 in August/September

I'd be curious about this also. Live in RCP currently.

I can setup whatsapp group Sent you guys PM

Hi,

Congrats to others who have booked.

We booked in phase 2, and would be very interested to join the Whatsapp group, please DM.

Hi all, we’ve also secured a property in phase 2. We’d love to join any fb or WhatsApp groups. Thanks

Hi there! I’ve managed to get an house for phase 2. In my opinion, we will be lucky to do the snag list this December. If I’m correct they didn’t started snagging their phase 1. Did you guys created a WhatsApp group? Please add me in.

Hi there! It's great to know this thread, I am in phase 1 and also very interested in joining the WhatsApp group. Please add me in.

Hi everyone, we are interested in the latest phase of the Rathborne Boulevard development and would love to chat to anyone who secured a property in previous phases - have you seen the houses and would you recommend? We’ve seen the plans and they look great. Spoke to the sales agent who advised the sunlight impact from the apartment development was “minimal” and the tallest blocks facing over the garden would be 5-6 storeys, so assuming the 14 storey block is sitting in a space that doesn’t overlook gardens?

Sent you pm

Hi Everyone.

I'm currently living in the village center e I have noticed that they are working very quickly... you can see major progress every week...

I took those pictures when I was cycling....they started working at the end of tallow street now and also they are building a sidewalk (i think) that connects the Royal canal.

I'm just wondering if it will be a small park close to the royal canal like Crescent park, where Can I check the latest project for this area? I can only find the old project 1-year-old... I'm just curious 😄

Hi all, in Phase 1 and have just moved in! Would be great to join the Whatsapp Group. Thanks a mil!

Hi All, I have booked a 3bed in phase 2. Would love to be part of any WhatsApp or Facebook groups. Cheers!
