Dundrum itself has a rich heritage and vibrant community which continues to evolve and grow. In recent decades, Dundrum has seen major infrastructural improvements including the Luas, a new road network and significant commercial and retail development.

The CMH site represents a unique opportunity to unlock this strategically located site to create a distinctive compact and integrated community as a new quarter for Dundrum.

The CMH is currently in use as an operational mental health facility. Following the completion of a new purpose-built facility in Portrane in the autumn, which will enable patients and staff to transfer, the CMH site will become available to progress plans to create an entirely new neighbourhood.

The lands provide a unique opportunity to transform this inward-looking site into a new, welcoming, sustainable urban community with a distinctive identity which will be integrated into the wider community of Dundrum.

The optimum residential unit mix and number and ancillary uses will be determined as part of the detailed design process, cognisant of planning policy requirements. It is envisaged that this compact development could include in excess of 1,200 new residential units with supporting community amenities. The development is also expected to include sensitive adaptive reuse of key heritage buildings within a distinctive landscape setting.
