The Land Development Agency (LDA) announced on Thursday the planned delivery of 779 apartments in Fairview in Dublin on a site at St Vincent's Hospital.

The new Richmond Village development is being delivered in partnership with Royalton Developments and Walls Construction and will be constructed on the site of St. Vincent’s Hospital (SVH) in Fairview, just over two kilometres northwest of Dublin city centre. Planning permission was secured for the project in 2023 by Royalton Developments. The project is due to be fully completed by 2029 and will include retail outlets and amenities.

In addition to the residential development, a new, state-of-the-art 51-bed medical facility will be delivered separately by Royalton Developments and Walls for St. Vincent’s. Construction works began this month, with a 21-month period for the medical facility and a 42-month period for the residences.

The LDA’s Project Tosaigh initiative involves partnerships with homebuilders through which the LDA provides the financial stimulus required to commence construction and complete much-needed housing projects.

To date, the LDA has partnered with homebuilders to deliver a total of 2,170 Project Tosaigh homes at locations in Cork, Dublin, Wicklow, Meath, Kildare, Limerick, Galway, and Waterford.

“The construction of hundreds of new homes will create a vibrant new community within easy reach of Dublin city-centre and will be another significant step forward in the delivery of affordable and social housing," said Taoiseach Micheál Martin.
