There is no milestone quite like the moment a house becomes a home. We are delighted to announce that First Lock on Davitt Road is officially complete, and the first wave of residents have begun to move in.
The atmosphere along the Grand Canal will be transformed as families, and individuals collect their keys and begin their new chapters. From the first morning coffee overlooking the historic lock to the sound of children playing in the courtyard, First Lock is officially coming to life.
More Than Just an Address
For the new residents, this is more than just a move; it’s a lifestyle upgrade. Whether it’s a young family settling into a spacious two-bedroom apartment or an individual finding their focus in a modern studio, First Lock offers a refined backdrop for Dublin living.
With the Goldenbridge and Suir Road Luas stops right on the doorstep, the residents will discover the joy of a shorter commute and more time spent enjoying the vibrant local community of Dublin 12.
Designed for Wellness and Connection
First Lock was built with well-being at its heart. The private, landscaped courtyard will become a hub for neighbours to meet, while the dedicated play area offers a safe, green sanctuary for children to explore. Our commitment to the environment is reflected in the sustainable green roof system, which supports local biodiversity and brings a touch of nature to this urban quarter.
To ensure a seamless daily routine, we’ve integrated secure underground parking and ample bicycle storage, making it easier than ever for our community to embrace sustainable, active travel.
Rooted in the Community
Beyond the front door, our residents will find themselves at the centre of it all. Within a short stroll, they are exploring the historic beauty of Kilmainham Gaol, the energy of DublinCity Centre, and the essential amenities that make a neighbourhood feel like home — from local cafés and schools to the nearby St. James’s Hospital and the new National Children’s Hospital.
We are incredibly proud to see these 188 apartments fill with life, laughter, and the start of many happy memories.
To the new residents: Welcome home.
