    You'll get up to 15 houses per acre.
    I think that only comes with higher density models though. Like townhouses.

    that's 21M profit based on 200 house at 350k with a 35% gross margin

    If the purchase price of the land was c€15m as reported in one of the articles, it doesn't leave a whole lot (in relative terms) of gravy left over though ? A property/development company that size would hardly buy a golf course and not build on it, would they ? What sort of revenue would the club generate for them annually ?

    Usually a mixture. But it often depends on site costs and location.

    Not always. You can cram in semi-d's. Open space & Irish water is a big issue. Don't get agreement from IW prior to planning and you aren't going anywhere!!

    Anyway, we're drifting here, lets leave the building at that.

    And that is exactly what they will build. All the house that hace gone up recently in d15 are the same, duplexes, houses on top of each other, glorified terraces, apartments, f all space for gardens, most don't even have a proper driveway to park your car on.

    The numbers and acrage say otherwise. It could be over 500 units if they adopted the model you describe.


    Anyway, as Charlie says, we're way OT.
