Currently selling from plans, this first phase sees the release of 36 units.

According to selling agents Sherry FitzGerald, location is one of the key factors with this scheme. About two miles from the city centre, and a short walk from both Drumcondra and Fairview villages, Richmond Road is a mature residential area surrounded by redbrick houses from the early 20th century. The site, which was formerly the HB Dennis landrover dealership, overlooks the Tolka River.

Nearby areas include Marino and Clontarf, while the Botanic Gardens in Glasnevin are 15 minutes' walk away.

Designed by Project Architects, this contemporary development comprises 88 one- and two-beds set out in five buildings, one of which is a striking circular building, completely clad in timber.

All apartments will either overlook the Tolka River or the courtyard. On offer are a variety of one- and two-beds with various layout designs.

One-beds range in size from 42 to 58sq m (452 to 629sq ft), while two-bed apartments vary from 61 to 97sq m (660 to 1042sq ft).

Features which will come as standard include Italian contemporary fitted kitchens with granite worktops and all electrical appliances, and ultra modern bathrooms with semi-recessed basins, vanity units with timber surrounds, and tiling. Underground car-parking is available, but costs an extra 20,000.

Price: one-bed apartments from 285,000 and two-beds from 335,000.
