Builders leap final hurdle after Titanic struggle in D24

Builders leap final hurdle after Titanic struggle in D24

Irish Independent - Harcourt Developments, the company best known for developing the Titanic Quarter in Belfast, has reached the final hurdle of its sales campaign at its Citywest estate, Cúil Dúin.

Harcourt was among a number of developers that co-funded a 4.2km-extension of the red Luas line to the Citywest Business Campus during the boom in the hope of attracting more employers and house-buyers to the area. The extension didn't open until 2011, but the transport link finally bore fruit for the company when it launched Cúil Dúin beside the Saggart Luas stop in 2016.

Irish Independent - Harcourt Developments' Cúil Dúin scheme in Citywest is a five-minute walk from the Saggart Luas stop that Harcourt part-funded during the Celtic Tiger - it was among a number of developers to finance a 4.2km-extension of the Tallaght Luas line to the Citywest Business Campus.

Harcourt really had to bide its time before the investment paid off: the extension didn't open until 2011. But the Luas extension finally bore fruit in 2016, when the first phase of 45 houses at its Cúil Dúin development sold out within a matter of weeks, thanks to demand from first-time buyers.
