Griffin Point Donaghmede: Delivering a 422-Apartment Residential Development with Offsite Precast Construction
O’Reilly Precast is proud to support the delivery of the Griffin Point residential development on Hole in the Wall Road, Donaghmede — a six-storey project providing 422 high-quality apartments, delivered in partnership with Townmore Construction.
This large-scale scheme demonstrates how offsite precast concrete construction and Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) can improve build efficiency, site safety, and programme certainty on complex residential developments in Ireland.
Griffin Point Donaghmede Precast Construction Overview
Griffin Point is a clear example of how offsite construction can streamline the delivery of high-density housing. By manufacturing key structural and façade elements offsite, the project benefits from improved quality control, reduced on-site activity, and faster installation times.
The Griffin Point Donaghmede Precast Construction project demonstrates how offsite precast concrete and MMC can successfully deliver large-scale residential developments in Ireland.
O’Reilly Precast has supported the project from design through manufacture and installation, ensuring seamless coordination across all stages of construction.
Architectural Wall Panels (AWPs)
A defining feature of the Griffin Point project is the use of Architectural Wall Panels (AWPs). These prefabricated panels combine:
- Precast concrete structure
- Brick slip finishes
- Insulation
- Windows
Delivered as a single integrated solution, AWPs significantly reduce the need for traditional scaffolding while enhancing on-site safety and accelerating envelope completion.
Benefits of Architectural Wall Panels
The use of AWPs on the Griffin Point development has delivered several key advantages:
- Faster installation compared to traditional build methods
- Reduced on-site labour and temporary works
- Improved health and safety performance
- High-quality, repeatable finishes
- Greater programme certainty on a multi-storey build
- These benefits make Architectural Wall Panels an increasingly popular solution for modern residential construction.
Project Scope and Precast Quantities
O’Reilly Precast’s scope of works on the Griffin Point project includes:
- 6,185 m² of Architectural Wall Panels
- 17,266 m² of precast concrete floors
- 12,864 m² of precast grey walls
- Precast concrete stairs throughout the development
All elements were manufactured in controlled factory conditions before being delivered and installed on site, ensuring precision, durability, and consistent quality across the project.
Collaboration and Project Progress
Strong collaboration between project partners has been central to progress on site. O’Reilly Precast continues to work closely with Townmore Construction to ensure efficient sequencing and coordination throughout the build.
Members of O’Reilly Precast’s Quantity Surveying team — Darren Fitzpatrick, Shane Galligan, and Jonathan Corrigan — recently visited the site to review progress and ongoing works.
The project has also been featured by TG4, highlighting the role of offsite precast construction in delivering complex residential developments efficiently and safely.
Delivering High-Quality Housing Through MMC
As the Griffin Point development moves closer to completion, it stands as a strong example of how precast concrete, Architectural Wall Panels, and Modern Methods of Construction can support the delivery of high-quality housing at scale. The Griffin Point Donaghmede Precast Construction project demonstrates how offsite precast concrete and MMC can successfully deliver large-scale residential developments in Ireland.
O’Reilly Precast is proud to contribute its expertise to projects that deliver long-term value through innovation, collaboration, and offsite construction excellence.
