AI Investment Analysis
D15 Blanchardstown is the best-value high-growth proposition in Fingal County. With the highest planning permit count of any non-city Dublin district, the area has the most active development pipeline in the capital, driven by BusConnects, Metro West influence, and strong employment from Blanchardstown Corporate Park (Hewlett Packard, Baxter, Alcon). The retail hub (Blanchardstown Centre) adds resilience. With 10.2% price growth, 5.3% gross yield, and a sub-€400k median, it delivers returns that rival core city postcodes at lower absolute cost.
