Millers Glen Apartments, a high-quality residential development in Swords, Co. Dublin, has completed ahead of schedule.

Comprising 99 modern units across six thoughtfully designed blocks, the development forms part of the well-established Millers Glen Estate.

Developed by Gannon Homes in partnership with Respond Housing Association and Fingal County Council, the project contributes to Ireland’s Housing for All initiative, delivering much-needed sustainable homes for a growing and vibrant community. Designed by Conroy Kelly Architects, the development prioritises energy efficiency, contemporary aesthetics, and high-quality finishes. Our team in Dublin worked closely with the wider project team to deliver civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering from planning through to completion.

Sustainable design rooted in community planning

The scheme integrates seamlessly with the broader Millers Glen masterplan, connecting to the area’s infrastructure and services, including a carefully planned attenuation lake and a regional park, both designed by our civils team. These shared amenities enhance the overall experience and offer residents well-planned, shared green spaces that contribute to the estate’s long-term resilience and biodiversity. Alongside this, the apartments are highly accessible sitting 25 minutes from Dublin City Centre, with the M1 and M50 just minutes away. For those opting for public transport, regular bus services, including the Swords Express, ensure fast and reliable links to the City Centre
and beyond.

Constructed using traditional methods, the apartment blocks feature precast floors, masonry load-bearing walls, and timber roof structures. Due to its proximity to the Broad Meadow River, the site had been raised in previous development phases to mitigate flood risk, and necessitating piled foundations for this phase.

Main contractor GEM Construction led the construction, with all six blocks delivered in advance of the original timeline. The early completion of the project reflects strong collaboration across the project team and a shared commitment to quality and sustainability. This achievement highlights what can be accomplished when developers, local authorities, designers, and contractors work toward a shared goal.
