Dublin City Council to build 4,000 homes in 4 years in major housing programme
Dublin City Council (DCC) has launched a major programme to advance the development of 4,000 new homes across more than 30 locations throughout Dublin over the coming four years.This project represents one of the most substantial direct build housing schemes ever undertaken by a Local Authority. The scheme will see DCC develop a number of council-owned housing locations.The DCC Home Building Programme will support the Council's provision of new social and affordable homes between 2026 and 2030. Lord Mayor of Dublin, Councillor Ray McAdam said that delivering homes for Dublin is one of the capital's most pressing challenges."Delivering homes at scale is one of the most urgent challenges facing Dublin and meeting that challenge requires strong collaboration. This new programme is about unlocking the full potential of Council owned land to creating homes, strengthening communities, and ensuring that people can continue to live and thrive in the neighbourhoods they know and love," he said.This initiative is a practical and ambitious step towards both, ensuring growth that is inclusive, sustainable, and rooted in long-term value for the people of Dublin."Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, James Browne TD said: "To address our housing challenges, we must embrace innovative and efficient approaches that enable us to deliver homes to people as quickly as possible. I am committed to ensuring that ambitious local authorities receive the funding and support they need to build homes swiftly and effectively, and I commend Dublin City Council for taking this initiative."Mick Mulhern, Assistant Chief Executive, Housing, Dublin City Council, added: "The Home Building Programme demonstrates our ambition in Dublin City Council to deliver high-quality housing at pace and scale on our land. We want to work collaboratively with housing contractors to ensure efficient delivery and value supporting the Council's social and affordable housing ambitions."Andrew O'Flanagan, Director NDFA and NewERA: "The NDFA looks forward to supporting Dublin City Council in the delivery of these new homes and to working in close collaboration with all project stakeholders across the Programme."DCC is receiving assistance from the National Development Finance Agency (NDFA).
