Approved Housing Body Oaklee has marked the delivery of 39 new homes at Bentley Villas in Dún Laoghaire with a walkthrough of the completed development, attended by project partners and key stakeholders. The event brought together those involved in the scheme’s delivery to view the finished homes and mark the completion of a development that is already welcoming residents.

Residents have already started moving in, with the scheme delivering much-needed high-quality sustainable homes in a well-connected location.

The scheme offers 27 one-bed apartments, 11 two-bed apartments, and one three-bed apartment for general-needs social housing in Dún Laoghaire town centre.

Located close to public transport, services and local amenities, it reflects Oaklee’s commitment to meeting a range of housing needs while supporting sustainable communities.

Bentley Villas was delivered in collaboration with Bank of Ireland, the project’s main funder, alongside Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, the Housing Agency, the Department of Housing and developer KavCo. The scheme highlights the importance of strong partnership working between approved housing bodies, funders, local authorities and delivery partners in bringing new homes from concept to completion.

Welcoming partners to Bentley Villas, Oaklee CEO Sharon Cosgrove commented,

“At Oaklee, our purpose is to deliver homes that help people and communities live, thrive and prosper. Seeing these homes finished and occupied brings that purpose to life.

“The real achievement goes beyond construction and milestones; it is realised when residents move in, and a house becomes a home. Bentley Villas is already coming to life, and I want to thank Bank of Ireland, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, KavCo, the Housing Agency, the Department of Housing, local councillors, and everyone who supported this project. It is a strong example of what can be achieved through collaboration and shared commitment.”
