Placemaking Award for Shanganagh Castle Estate
We are honoured to announce that Shanganagh Castle Estate has been awarded the prestigious title of winner for the Placemaking Initiative of the year at the 2025 Business Post Property Awards. This recognition is a testament to the innovative design and forward-thinking approach of this landmark development and showcases the innovative approach taken in delivering the largest public housing development in decades, offering high quality affordable homes at scale. The partnership between Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council and the Land Development Agency (LDA) has proven to be a successful collaboration, ensuring that the project met its delivery targets.
The development is the largest residential scheme certified to achieve the ‘passive house’ low energy use standard, and has significantly lower energy consumption and associated heating costs compared to other new builds. Shanganagh Castle Estate has delivered high quality A rated and passive homes across a mix of tenures – affordable purchase, cost rental and social. The development provides a range of housing options to cater for young professionals, families, older people and social housing tenants. The first phase of 51 Affordable Purchase houses, 195 cost rental apartments and 35 social apartments was delivered in 2024, with the remaining 316 homes available in 2025.
