Dublin 13: from €250,000 Apartments, duplexes and townhouses go on sale from plans this morning in the last phase at Beaupark, a 600-unit development forming part of a new town on the edges of Baldoyle and Balgriffen in Dublin 13.
Sherry FitzGerald New Homes is taking bookings for 120 one, two and three-bedroom units, in a mix of apartments, duplexes and townhouses.
One and two-bedroom apartments are in the majority, but overall there is a huge choice of sizes, prices and styles. Many will suit a first-time buyer's budget.
Prices start at €250,000 for 34 good-sized one-bed apartments of 48sq m (515sq ft). There are also 64 two-bedroom apartments of 61-76sq m (655-815sq ft) going from €330,000.
Eight two-bedroom duplex units of 86sq m (925sq ft) cost from €470,000. Also available are four three-bed apartments of 85sq m (925sq ft) starting at €410,000.
Two three-bedroom duplexes of 140sq m (1,500sq ft) are priced from €555,000.
The townhouses will be popular and likely to go early. There are just eight three-bedroom townhouses of around 109sq m (1,170sq ft), costing from €420,000.
Beaupark is off Grange Road, close to Baldoyle, Donaghmede and Portmarnock and within easy reach of the coast. The development will be within Capital North, a new planned neighbourhood with the amenities of a town centre, such as a cinema, shops, hotels and gym facilities.
Planning for a new train station was granted last year and should be in operation by 2008, say Sherry FitzGerald New Homes. The 22-hectare Father Collins Park will include 17 playing pitches, children's playgrounds and a running track when revamped.
Builder Killoe is jointly developing this huge site with Menolly Homes. Their planned spec is good, with contemporary kitchens, custom-made wardrobes, wall tiling in kitchens, bathrooms and en suites and painting throughout - a ready-to-go finish similar to Menolly.
Other features include electric central heating, extra-high ceilings and unusual split-level accommodation in the duplex units. Apartments will have at least one balcony, while penthouses will include large terraces with views across the city and bay. Three-storey three-bedroom townhouses will have both south-facing balconies and terraces.
Underground car-parking is included and open spaces will be professionally landscaped. Completions are expected from November this year to spring 2007. Beaupark's plans can be viewed at the offices of Sherry FitzGerald New Homes at 93 Morehampton Road, Donnybrook from today.
