The 8th Lock residential project comprises five sections which are between four and thirteen storeys high and due for completion between October 2023 and March 2025. Altogether the site will offer approximately 31,000 sq m of rental space, with 435 furnished apartments accounting for some 28,000 sq m. The rest of the space is earmarked for commercial use. In addition to the rental space, future tenants can expect attractive communal areas that could be used as shared offices or as a fitness studio, for example. There will be shared underground parking beneath the development with room for 242 cars and 960 bicycles.

The planned 8th Lock residential quarter is located within Ballymore’s Royal Canal Park, an existing development to the north-west of Dublin city centre. It is just 300 metres from the new Pelletstown railway station, which is due for completion this summer and will make it possible to get to the International Financial Services Centre in just twelve minutes. The city centre is only 25 minutes away and Dublin Airport can be reached in under 20 minutes by car.
