Designed by Londonbased Moss & Co, Corran Riada draws its inspiration from its landscape, being nestled on the ridge of the Esker Riada.

The Sequoia are one and two bedroom own door apartments priced from 189,950, include all flooring, from top to bottom, all kitchen appliances (including a dishwasher), a choice of quality kitchen units and quality wardrobes, extensive tiling throughout, a creche and ample on site parking . . . literally a turn-key package and fantastic value for both investors and firsttime buyers. The apartments are also unusual as they have their own gardens and there is no service charge - a huge boost for investors.

The development is situated on Athlone's Tuam Road, a stone's throw from Elan - the Athlone based pharmaceutical giant and an excellent base from which to find tenants. Letting demand is high for one-bedroom apartments, according to Liz Dwyer, head of Property Management for Hynes Real Estate Alliance.

Rents in the region have seen upwards of 10% appreciating in 2007 to date.

Developers Oysterhomes are also putting the finishing touches to the business park section of Gateway which will bring an additional 5,000 sq. m. of offices and business accommodation on stream.
