About The Glebe LRD
Residential Development
Located in the Glebe, Donegal Town, this mixed-use development will create a vibrant and sustainable new neighbourhood comprising 228 residential units, alongside retail spaces and a dedicated crèche facility. A varied mix of houses and apartments will provide adaptable homes for individuals and families at different stages of life.
Sustainable Community Design
Designed with long-term sustainability in mind, the development prioritises energy-efficient, adaptable homes, passive solar gain, renewable technologies and durable, high-quality materials. The result is a well-connected and inclusive community that responds sensitively to the landscape and distinctive character of Donegal Town.
Landscape-Led Design
The overall concept is shaped by the site’s natural topography. Buildings, streets and landscaped spaces are carefully stepped and terraced across the sloping ground, reducing visual impact while preserving natural contours, drainage patterns and surrounding views. Native planting, biodiversity-rich areas and sustainable water-management measures are integrated throughout, creating an attractive landscape with safe pedestrian routes, cycle connections and high-quality public and private amenity spaces.
