Stroll along the canal
Enjoy the changing seasons along the 3.5km of canal-side walks
Seven Mills has been designed so that every home is no more than 2 minutes away from beautiful open green space. As well as natural hedgerows, you’ll find 11 parks and 30 children’s play spaces of different sizes and designs. The canal is on your doorstep with a choice of walkways and cycleways, and it’s all just a hop, skip and a jump from Dublin’s bustling city centre.
Building the future
Scheduled to be fully built by 2030, things are already moving at a great pace at Seven Mills. Building work started in January of 2023, and our first residents were here in time for Christmas. The first parks and playgrounds also opened in 2024. When it’s complete, Seven Mills will feature 12 parks of different sizes and 10 playgrounds, with green spaces amenable to everyone. Sites for eight schools, across primary and secondary have been ring-fenced in The Clonburris Strategic Development Zone (SDZ) which is the wider development around Seven Mills. These will be commissioned, developed and built by the Department of Education as the town progresses. The first crèche is planned to open before the end of 2024 and there are plans for at least 9 more.
Always part of the community
At Cairn, we believe that supporting local sports clubs like Round Tower GAA fosters teamwork, dedication, and community pride and strengthens the community as a whole, both on and off the field. We are proud to be associated with the amazing work they do.
The future is close
To put the scale of Seven Mills into context, it will be similar in size to Maynooth. However, rather than being developed over centuries, our goal is to fully complete this new town by 2030. That’s why you’ll see around 700 people on site every day working on all aspects of the project, building between 750 and 1,000 homes each year. The project is supported by approximately €200m worth of urban regeneration development funding and is a significant development in terms of infrastructure for the wider area.
