Market Square - Res Dev Site F.P.P 29 Units, Rathdrum, Co. Wicklow

Description: This is a rare opportunity to acquire a shovel ready ready-to-go residential development site with Full Planning Permission for 29 residential units (Planning Ref. 2560549). The scheme has been carefully considered and represents a highly deliverable project, ideally suited to both regional and national housebuilders seeking a low-risk, market-ready opportunity. The proposed development comprises a sensibly designed, developer-friendly mix of modern family homes, laid out to maximise efficiency, buildability and saleability. The design reflects proven house types that align closely with current market demand, ensuring strong purchaser appeal and streamlined delivery on site. Located in County Wicklow, the development benefits from a strong and established new homes market, underpinned by consistent buyer demand and limited competing supply. Importantly, the proposed homes fall comfortably within the First Home Scheme and Help to Buy thresholds, significantly enhancing affordability and broadening the purchaser pool. This materially reduces sales risk and supports strong absorption rates once launched. The site enjoys excellent accessibility, with convenient transport links and proximity to local amenities, further reinforcing its attractiveness to owner-occupiers and commuters alike. From a delivery perspective, the scheme offers a clear pathway to construction, with planning risk removed and all key fundamentals in place. Full (GDV) analysis and supporting information are available upon request. This represents a turn-key development opportunity in a high-demand location, offering certainty, efficiency and strong market fundamentals.
