Coonan Real Estate Alliance in Maynooth and Hamilton Osborne King have secured over €50 million for 260 acres of mainly industrial development land at Newbridge, Co Kildare.
There were five expressions of interest in what was easily the largest tract of land to be offered for sale in Co Kildare in recent years. The site is located alongside the Wyeth Medica plant which is currently being expanded.
Under the local area plan for Newbridge, most of the land has been designated for industrial and warehousing schemes while 10 acres have been set aside for a new sports stadium. A further 35 acres retains its agricultural status but the expectation is that this will eventually be zoned either for commercial or residential purposes once the development of the remainder of the sites gets under way.
