Located on Turvey Walk, this apartment scheme is in Donabate village, beside shops, amenities and the train station, which provides access to Dublin in just 25 minutes. It is also a short drive from Swords and Dublin Airport while the nearby motorway opens up most routes. The development is also very close to Donabate beach and golf course.

Designed by architects Henry J Lyons, The Gallery is a contemporary-style development. A lot of open space has been incorporated throughout, including a sunken and walled communal garden, while each of the nine buildings differs in height and orientation. The developers have pushed the boat out in this scheme, and have commissioned artist Jason Jones to complete a series of paintings that will hang in the foyer of each building, all of which are linked.

On offer are a range of one and two-bed apartments and two and three-bed penthouses. One-bed apartments are quite spacious at 56sq m (597sq ft), while two-bed apartments range in size from 65 to 84sq m (700 to 907sq ft).

Two-bed penthouses vary from 85 to 99sq m (915 to 1065sq ft), while three-bed penthouses range from 120 to 124sq m (1290 to 1327sq ft).
