The Carmelite order is set to secure up to €35 million from the sale of eight acres of land attached to its student and novitiate house at Ballinteer in south Dublin. The site of the proposed development is located to the rear of the Carmelites’ house at Gort Muire and adjacent to St Tiernan’s Community School. Both schemes are located on lands which previously formed part of the Carmelite order’s original 50-acre Gort Muire estate. The Carmelite order acquired Gort Muire – or Gortmore as it was then known – in 1944 from a Mr B St George Lefroy for £12,000. Outside of Dublin, Lioncor is developing the Leana Theas estate in Knocknacarra, Galway, and Castlebrook Manor in Castletroy, Limerick.
