Limerick mayor signs off on development of council-owned land to 'revitalise' Moyross
Limerick mayor John Moran has signed off on plans to build 73 residential units and 42 apartments and develop a medical facility on land owned by the council.
Cluid Housing and Whitebox have been given approval to use the land in a joint venture after they emerged as the successful bidders to develop the site, which will be known as 'Greenhills'.
In 2023, elected members granted a Section 183, which led to a planning application for the mixed-use development on the site being granted in 2024.
The development will include:
73 residential units;
42 two-bed apartments;
A drive-through pharmacy;
A coffee shop;
A convenience store;
And a day centre.
Additionally, a nursing home with 90 beds and a new ambulatory medical facility will be developed.
According to the mayor's office, a contractor has been identified and work is expected to begin shortly.
This comes as the mayoral programme set for 2024 to 2029 includes revitalising the Moyross area — and activating public lands for housing 'more quickly'.

The project will also provide a "significant jobs boost" to the northside of the city, creating employment in the area and provide upgraded medical facilities, and improved infrastructure. It will be a 'boost to affordable housing options'.
Mr Moran said: 'This project is yet another of the plans in the More for Limerick programme for Moyross kicking into action, with other key ones to follow soon. I want to thank colleagues in our housing and regeneration teams, along with elected members in both the current and previous council term, for their work in getting this project shovel-ready.
'This is the moment for Moyross to begin to shape another new narrative — one of resilience, creativity and shared future — building on the progress in recent years. Onwards and upwards — more for Moyross.'
Director general of the council Pat Daly, added: 'This is a game-changer for Moyross. With planning permission secured, the official disposal of this land lays the foundation for a more vibrant, healthy and sustainable community. We're looking forward to seeing the delivery of a project that aligns so closely with our vision for a thriving, equitable Limerick.'
