Castlehorn Moves Closer to New $1.8B Town

DUBLIN-The development company unveils plan for Adamstown, a 1.7-million-sf, master-planned town center and seeks government approvals.

DUBLIN-Billing it as Ireland’s first 21st-century town, Castlehorn Construction has unveiled plans for a new, master-planned town center 10 miles west of the nation’s capital city. Projected costs for the 1.7-million-sf Adamstown Central are nearly $1.8 billion. It is being planned to accommodate a population of 30,000, with an eye toward sustainability and low-carbon emissions.

The 20-acre town center will be located beside Adamstown train station and the town’s schools, all of which were opened in 2007. The town center will also incorporate 60 retail units including restaurants, cafés and bars; an eight-screen cinema and 900 apartments. Car parking will be entirely underground on one level facilitating a pedestrian-friendly, traffic-free environment.

This week, Castlehorn submitted a major planning application to South Dublin City Council for approvals for the town center plan. It is believed to be the largest mixed-use application in the state’s history. The town is expected to create more than 2,500 jobs in the town center and surrounding area.
