People on South Dublin County Council's Social Housing Waiting List will be offered new homes in the development after its expected finish date in late 2020.
Corkagh Grange is one of six sites across Dublin, Louth, Wicklow and Kildare included in the Social Housing Bundle 1 Public Private Partnership (PPP), a project which aims to deliver 534 social housing homes across the region.
SDCC Chief Executive Danny McLoughlin said: “This Council is delighted to be part of this new PPP Model to deliver housing which will see 534 new homes built across five local authorities and 109 homes in this county.”
