About this property
Description
Strategic Land Bank Opportunity Ashbourne This property offers a rare opportunity to secure a substantial strategic land bank extending to approximately 116 acres (46.94 hectares) in a prime location on the Dublin/ Meath border. Large-scale landholdings of this nature are extremely limited in the Greater Dublin Area, making this a compelling long-term investment opportunity for developers, investors and occupiers seeking a site of scale with exceptional accessibility and future potential. The lands are currently zoned General Employment which provides for logistics, warehousing and light industrial uses. This zoning already offers a wide range of permitted uses suitable for immediate development in the industrial and logistics sectors. In addition, the strategic positioning of the site, combined with the strong demand for residential and commercial land in the Dublin region, ensures that the property also holds significant long-term potential for rezoning or alternative uses under future county and regional development plans. Location & Connectivity The lands are located beside the M2 interchange at Ashbourne, approximately 23 km north-west of Dublin City Centre and just 19 km from Dublin Airport. This location provides excellent access to the national motorway network, with direct connections to the M2 and onward access to the M50, N2, M1 and Dublin Port Tunnel. This level of connectivity ensures the property is ideally placed for logistics, distribution and large-scale occupiers, while also enhancing its attractiveness for future rezoning potential. Site Characteristics - Approx. 116 acres (46.94 hectares) of prime, contiguous land. - Two existing access points with potential for upgrade, providing dual entry and flexibility for future master planning. - Extensive road frontage along the N2 corridor. - Level topography, allowing for efficient site utilisation and reduced infrastructure costs compared to more challenging sites. Investment - One of the last remaining large-scale landbanks within the Dublin commuter and logistics belt. - Current General Employment zoning allows for immediate progression of industrial and logistics development. - Significant long-term uplift potential through future rezoning to residential, mixed-use or higher-value employment uses, subject to planning. - Strong demographic growth in Ashbourne and the wider Meath/Fingal region underpins the case for future rezoning. - Direct proximity to Dublin Airport and major transport corridors ensures long-term strategic importance for both occupiers and investors. Strategic Value Opportunities of this nature are increasingly rare. The Greater Dublin Area has experienced sustained population and employment growth, while zoned and serviced lands of scale remain scarce. This site provides a unique opportunity to secure a long-term strategic reserve of land that can be developed, phased, or simply held to benefit from future planning cycles and rezoning initiatives. Given its location on the Dublin Meath border, the lands are well positioned to benefit from ongoing infrastructure investment and from the strong demand for both housing and employment land within easy commuting distance of the capital. This holding represents a truly exceptional opportunity to acquire a strategic land bank of scale with both immediate and future potential. Its location beside the M2 interchange, combined with its zoning, access, and long-term repositioning prospects, ensures it will appeal to a wide range of investors, developers and occupiers seeking to secure a landmark site in the Greater Dublin Area.
