Location

The former Emmaus Retreat Centre in Lissenhall is strategically located on the northern periphery of Swords in north County Dublin where it is easily accessible via the R132 (old Dublin to Belfast Road) and Junction 4 of the M1 motorway.

The property is located between Swords and the M1. It is 2.3 kms (1.7 miles) north of Swords. Swords is the third largest town in Ireland with a population of 40,776 as at Census 2022 with Fingal County generally experiencing one of the highest growth rates in the country.

Dublin Airport is one of the largest employment centres in the country, directly supporting 19,900 jobs and is less than a 10 minute drive from the former Emmaus Retreat Centre.

The area is set to undergo further growth in the medium term as a result of the proposed MetroLink which will commence adjacent to the subject property where Estuary Station and a large Park and Ride facility are proposed to be developed. The project is expected to begin construction within the next several years (subject to consent) and is targeted to commence operations in the mid-2030’s.

Town Planning

The entire property is situated within an area zoned MRE ‘MRE – Metro and Rail Economic Corridor’ as set out in the Fingal Development Plan 2023-2029. The aim of this land use zoning objective is to ‘Facilitate opportunities for high-density mixed-use employment generating activity and commercial development and support the provision of an appropriate quantum of residential development within the Metro and Rail Economic Corridor’.
