Location:
The property is situated in the centre of Claregalway village, a popular residential area approximately 10km northeast of Galway City. Claregalway is located within the Galway Metropolitan Area and forms part of the Galway Metropolitan Area Strategic Plan. Claregalway is a rapidly growing satellite town of Galway City with a population of 1,632 (Census 2022). It has experienced population growth of 194% between 2002 and 2022. There are currently a number of multi-unit residential developments under construction. The village benefits from a host of services and amenities to include schools, shops, hotel, churches, leisure facilities and public transport, all of which are nearby to the development site. Access to the M6 Motorway is approx. 5km to the south.

Description:
The site is bounded to the south by Church View, a cul de sac with a number of single detached dwellings in the centre of Claregalway Village, just off the N83. The subject property is also bound directly to the northwest by a neighbouring residential development called An Mhainistir. The property comprises an undeveloped landholding of approx. 4.73 hectares (11.7 acres) set within three separate fields. The site is regular shaped with well-defined boundaries. The land is currently in grass and are used for agriculture purposes.
Services including Water and Waste are located adjacent to the subject lands.

Zoning:
Under the Galway County Development Plan 2022 -2028, the property is located in an area zoned Residential (Phase 2). The lands benefit from now being identified with the same status as Phase 1 lands following the steps taken by Galway County Council, including increase in allowable density, and are available now for development. Galway County Council became one of the first local authorities to act and they adopted Variation No. 1 to the current development plan in February 2026, unlocking tracts of residentially zoned land, mainly by moving previously identified Residential Phase 2 into Phase 1 status, which includes the subject property.

Services:
Prospective bidders are advised to satisfy themselves regarding the presence, adequacy and availability of all services and access to the subject project.
