Construction work on the North City Operations Depot is underway
Purcell Construction Ltd has been awarded the contract to construct the new depot and work on site is underway. COVID restrictions on construction were eased from 4th May 2021 allowing the Contractor to mobilise and commence construction. The depot site is directly opposite IKEA and Decathlon in Ballymun and the residential developments of Carton Way, Carton Lane and St. Margaret’s Halting Site lie to the south of the site, along with Ballymun Industrial Estate. The site is owned by Dublin City Council and was selected for a number of reasons including its accessibility to a good network of roads, appropriate zoning for depot use and it is a site designated for redevelopment in the Ballymun Local Area Plan.
Dublin City Council is delighted to announce that the first former residents of St. Teresa’s Gardens were this morning given the keys to their new home at Margaret Kennedy Road.
The new development at Margaret Kennedy Road forms part of the on-going St. Teresa’s Gardens Regeneration Project. St Teresa s Gardens is located in the South Inner City of Dublin and the original complex of 12 blocks of flats was built in the early 1950s.
The construction of 54 new housing units at Margaret Kennedy Road (which is right beside St Teresa s Gardens on Donore Avenue) is the first stage in a major redevelopment of public lands in the St Teresa s Gardens area. Further stages in this redevelopment process will include the establishment of a substantial municipal sports facility, public parks, public playgrounds, cafes and crèches for the South Inner City (with a pitch the same size as Croke Park) and the construction of approximately 750 new social and cost rental housing units on public l
