Clondalkin: from €280,000: An apartment scheme in Clondalkin with Section 23 tax breaks is launching today with Douglas Newman Good. A Pierse Homes project, Rosebank Court is under construction on the banks of the Grand Canal at New Nangor Road, adjacent to Clondalkin village.

Prices start at €280,000 for 52 sq m (560 sq ft) one-bedroom units. Two-bedroom apartments of 56-67 sq m (604-720 sq ft) cost from €305,000. Three-bedroom apartments of 82-84 sq m (883-905 sq ft) are priced from €360,000. Prices include one car space per unit in an underground car-park. Architect Anthony Reddy Associates has distributed the 108 apartments among four four-storey blocks surrounded by landscaped communal areas. Each unit has a south-facing orientation, with lifts from the underground car-park.

Standard features at Rosebank Court include electric heating, cherry alder kitchen units and a full range of integrated appliances. Wardrobes are installed in all bedrooms and windows are extra-large. There are en suite bathrooms in most of the two and three-bedroom apartments.

The development is within walking distance of Clondalkin village and beside the old Lough and Quay. There are plans to upgrade the canal bank with a jetty and public walkway, to which residents will have direct access through a gated pedestrian entrance.

The location is a good one for investors, with business parks and employers such as Wyeth in the vicinity. The Arrow commuter rail link services the city and Luas is expected soon.

Work is expected to be completed by next December, with buyers in occupation from September. All units qualify for tax relief in the current year. Viewing is today, Friday and over the weekend.
