Cairn Homes is due to commence works on the first phase of its €345m, 608-unit apartment scheme on former RTÉ lands this week.

The move by the home-builder to commence construction works comes almost eight years after Cairn Homes agreed a €107.5m deal with RTÉ in June 2017 to purchase just under nine acres of land at RTÉ’s Donnybrook headquarters.
