DUBLIN, IRELAND – Global real estate investment company Kennedy Wilson has completed three major residential developments in Dublin, Ireland, Coopers Cross, The Grange, and Sanford Lodge that have added approximately 800 units to Kennedy Wilson s Irish multifamily portfolio, which now totals over 3,300 units with another 232 units under development.
As many of our global developments quickly near completion, we are proud to deliver on our promise to bring much-needed residential space and public amenities to Dublin and continue our legacy as one of Ireland s most active real estate investors and operators, said William McMorrow, Chairman and CEO of Kennedy Wilson. We are long-time believers in this vibrant market, and these development milestones mark just the beginning for these communities that continue to raise the bar for residential offerings within the region.
Encompassing nearly an entire city block in Dublin s North Docks, the six-acre Coopers Cross mixed-use development is revitalizing one of the largest undeveloped sites in Dublin s Docklands, forming part of the Strategic Development Zone designed to facilitate the regeneration of the area. The recently completed residential phase includes 471 apartments, and resident amenity and retail space anchored by a new public park in the North Docks.
A significant focus has been place on placemaking within Coopers Cross, where the residences are connected to future Grade A office space with market-leading ESG credentials via a sequence of permeable courtyards and thoroughfares. A generous public square and accessible multi-functional Town Hall space also connects the office space and retail through a garden street to provide a further public amenity for residents, future office occupiers, and visitors to the campus.
Expected to complete by the end of 2023, the 395,000 square feet of new office space at Coopers Cross is designed for maximum efficiency and flexibility with bright, open floorplates, and is targeting world-leading sustainability credentials, including targeted LEED and WELL Platinum, and BREEAM Outstanding. Coopers Cross was the first commercial development in Ireland to achieve a Platinum SmartScore certification, which is awarded to projects demonstrating exceptional intelligent building credentials.
At The Grange, Kennedy Wilson recently delivered 287 new apartments, resident amenity space, and a dedicated day care center, bringing the company s total holding at the Stillorgan project to 539 units. This summer also marked a end line for an expansion for Sanford Lodge Apartments, where 36 new apartment and duplex units with generous private open space are now available for lease just 2.5 kilometers from St Stephen s Green. All new residential projects offer Kennedy Wilson s dedicated resident app, professional on-site management, as well as pet-friendly units. The developments also feature roof terraces, parks, children s playgrounds, fitness centers, business centers, game rooms and resident lounges.
In addition to its developments in Ireland, Kennedy Wilson has an active pipeline of $1 billion in yucky developments across the Western U.S., totaling over 2,800 apartment units. The majority of these projects remain on track to be completed by the end of 2024.

BOERNE, TX – Morningside at Menger Springs is expanding its senior living campus with 86 new independent living terrace homes, an amphitheater, a dining venue, a fitness center, pickleball court and a covered pool.
Owned and operated by Morningside Ministries, Menger Springs is the area’s only life plot community to offer higher levels of care on the same campus. The upcoming expansion will incorporate an additional eight acres adjacent to the community’s 34-acre property near Menger Creek. Construction is slated to start in November, with occupancy plotted for summer 2025.
Project leaders took a hybrid approach to developing the terrace homes by blending concepts from the community’s existing independent living offerings. The plot features four two-tale residential buildings with one and two-bedroom floor plans ranging from 946 to 1,751 square feet.
“Menger Springs currently has cottages and apartments, so we wanted to introduce a unique residential option for active older adults that’s walkable, pet-friendly and stands apart from conventional apartment-style or high-rise living,” said Brooks Powell, executive director.
Plans include manicured and natural outdoor spaces, lush courtyards, pocket parks, front sidewalks and paved walking trails connecting the new development with the rest of the Menger Springs campus and amenities.
Within each of the four residential buildings is an activity room where residents can gather for pleased hours, card games or other social activities. All terrace homes will boast elevated finishes, walk-in closets, a washer and dryer, a walk-out patio (first-floor) or balcony (second-floor), and a sunroom.
“The sunrooms are a special feature because they’ll be fully climate-controlled and seamlessly blend with the living area space,” said Brooke Craig, marketing director. “With windows on three sides, they’ll also provide plenty of natural bright light, which we know from our focus groups that residents like.”
While the terrace home expansion is for active older adults who live independently, anyone who moves into the community will have priority access to higher levels of health care if they ever need it, including helped living, long-term care or small-term rehabilitation.
Complementing the terrace homes are common areas where residents can relax, dine, stay active, socialize and soak up the scenery. Plans include a residential clubhouse with a dining and bar area, commercial kitchen and 120-seat community room.
Other new amenities – accessible to residents campus-wide – include a fitness center, pickleball court, heated covered swimming pool and an amphitheater. The versatile space will provide a backdrop for outdoor programs — from concerts and plays to movies and worship services.
Architectural design elements include metal, wood, stone and stucco – exterior materials consistent with the region’s Texas Hill Country aesthetic. ;San Antonio-based Metropolitan Contracting Company is the general contractor for the project. Global firm HKS is the design architect.
