A new development of 21 homes has been handed over in Ballinteer, Dublin 16.
The Broadford Court development consists of 21 homes for older persons, a landscaped courtyard, community room, and underground parking.
Each of the dwellings have own door access, four are accessed off Broadford Rise and the remainder off the internal courtyard which has step, ramp or lift access. The dwellings wrap around the quiet private internal courtyard and the shared community room is placed in an elevated sunny corner of the site, with views out to the public road and all its activity. The individual dwellings range in size from 46 sq m to 59.5 sq m.
The scheme achieves a high density of 87.5 dwellings per hectare while respecting the existing built form, scale, and character of the residential amenity of the area.
An Cathaoirleach of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council (dlr), Cllr Lettie McCarthy, said: "I'm delighted to be officially opening Broadford Court, this new development of 21 energy efficient, level access, own door dwellings has provided much needed homes for older persons on our Housing list. I hope that the residents will be very happy in their new homes and enjoy joining this wonderful community."
Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Darragh O'Brien, was also in attendance at the opening in Ballinteer.
