Fingal County County is delighted to partner with the Land Development Agency (LDA) and Ballymore to bring Starter homes to Castlelands in Balbriggan.

Hampton Demesne a new neighbourhood on the southern edge of Balbriggan, County Dublin, is a mixed‑tenure community of 817 homes comprising affordable purchase, cost‑rental and social housing in a vibrant coastal setting.

See plans below for the following house types: The Shoal, The Bay, The Harbour, The Coal, The Strand

The masterplan goes beyond housing, and Hampton Demesne will provide a new public park with playgrounds, games areas, an outdoor gym, a skateboard plaza and a bike track, creating high‑quality public spaces for all ages.

Significant infrastructure improvements are also included in the designs, notably the Castlelands Link Street and a new bridge over the Dublin-Belfast rail line, which will better connect the development and improve access across the town.

Set across 25 hectares, Hampton Demesne will support one of Ireland’s youngest and fastest‑growing populations with sustainable, high‑quality homes and imaginative public realm.
