Work is well under way and when completed by 2007, there will be 300 apartments and duplexes made up mostly of two-bed units.

The first phase of 60 units was snapped up late last year, and now another 60 homes have come on the market.

Developed by Laragan Homes, and designed by architects O'Mahony Pike, Milner's Square is a contemporary development where each unit has large windows to maximise the natural light, along with good-sized balconies or terraces.

On Shanowen Road, on the city side of the Omni Shopping Centre, this scheme is a short walk from all facilities including shops, restaurants, cineplex and bus stops. The city centre is five miles away, while Dublin Airport is only 10 minutes' drive. Other nearby facilities within walking distance include Morton Stadium, and the new park, lake, hotel and restaurant at Santry Demense.

Apartments at Milner's Square are also expected to have good rental potential, with Beaumont Hospital and Dublin City University both in close proximity.

On offer in this phase are a mix of apartments and duplexes. Two-bed apartments vary from 71 to 88sq m (764 to 945sq ft), while twobed duplexes are very spacious at 95sq m (1,020sq ft).

A contemporary scheme laid out in six blocks, the apartments will have extensive glazing.

Kitchens will have highgloss German-designed Alno units with integrated Neff appliances. Bathrooms will be fully tiled and have slimline sanitary ware, while gas central heating will be fitted throughout.

An additional feature here is the high-tech wiring which allows for audio integrated sound system, and Smart Technology, enabling owners to control heating, lighting and alarm systems via a mobile phone.

Price: two-bed apartments from 375,000, two-bed duplexes from 415,000 Agent: Hooke & MacDonald 01-6318402
