The development of 210 homes, predominantly four-bed semi-detacheds, is just off the N40/N22 at Carriganarra, Ballincollig, and is being undertaken by builders and developers Murnane & O'Shea, who now have 50-70 workers active on site. It's notable as a medium density scheme of three-and four-bed homes, most of them semi-detacheds and where 1,486 sq ft four-bed semis priced at €375,000 are particularly finding favour with first- time buyers (FTBs) who can view them as 'homes for life,' or at least for the medium to long-term. Also being offered are three only detacheds, of 181 sq m 1,944 sq ft at €515,000 slightly smaller than the 2,120 sq ft detacheds offered at a higher €530,000 in January 2019. Design is by Deady Gahan architects, with a very good floor plan and flow especially in the four-bed semis, with a rear add-on sun-room with slight, vaulted ceiling, and ceiling heights at ground are a good 2.7m.
