60 one, two, three and four-bedroom homes are being offered for sale by SDCC under an affordable dwelling purchase arrangement. These homes are, subject to exceptions, being made available for first-time buyers only.
Canal Bank is an exciting new development of contemporary homes, set within a dynamic and fast-growing suburban area of Clonburris. Thoughtfully designed, the development will feature beautifully landscaped communal green spaces, a children’s playground, and a variety of recreational amenities, creating the perfect environment for modern family living.
Just a 5-minute walk from Clondalkin Fonthill train station, Canal Bank offers unbeatable connectivity. Dublin City Centre is only 12 minutes away by train, with seamless transport links via train, bus, cycleway, and greenway. The M50 and national rail network provide easy access to the rest of the country, while the Red LUAS line at the Red Cow, just a 10-minute drive away, offers a convenient Park & Ride facility and multiple Dublin Bus routes.
As a key component of the Clonburris Strategic Development Zone (SDZ) Planning Scheme— recognised by the Irish Government as an area of strategic national importance—Canal Bank is at the heart of a transformative vision for the region. South Dublin County Council, in collaboration with landowners, has developed a comprehensive plan to deliver homes, eight new schools, and ten creches within this expanding community.
