MEITHEAL ARCHITECTS SECURES PLANNING APPROVAL FOR 227 HOMES IN SECOND PHASE OF LEIXLIP GATE DEVELOPMENT

Meitheal Architects, the award-winning architecture and urban design practice headquartered in Cork, is delighted to announce the successful planning approval for the second phase of the Cairn Homes Leixlip Gate housing development in Co. Kildare.

Commencing on site in September 2024, this Large-Scale Residential Development (LRD) will deliver a total of 227 units, further enhancing housing availability in the Leixlip area. Ranging from one to four-bedroom houses, duplexes, and apartments, each unit has its own private open space, providing residents with a comfortable and adaptable living environment.
Situated near the historic Leixlip Gate Lane and within close proximity to Leixlip Town Centre, the development offers residents convenient access to a wide range of amenities, essential for modern living. The project’s design ethos prioritises connectivity and community integration, ensuring seamless linkage with the nearby ‘Harpur Lane’ estate to foster a cohesive neighbourhood environment.

One of the highlights of the planning approval is the provision for numerous landscaped open spaces throughout the development. These recreational areas, along with a public park adjacent to the new estate, have been meticulously designed to integrate with the native established mature landscape, enhancing the overall well-being and quality of life for residents.
Patrick O Toole, Managing Director of Meitheal Architects, said: “We are thrilled to have secured planning approval for the second phase of the Leixlip Gate development in partnership with Cairn Homes. This project exemplifies our commitment to creating sustainable, community-oriented spaces that enrich the lives of residents. We look forward to our ongoing collaboration with Cairn to bring this vision to life.”

The practice currently has a client portfolio of over 2,100 homes under construction, with 4,000 homes overall in varying stages of development. This residential portfolio is valued at over €450 million and comprises over fifty active multi-unit housing projects.
