A partially-zoned site of 69 acres on the outskirts of Kilcock, Co Kildare, is to be auctioned on July 24th.

CBRE is quoting €825,000 for the land which is located on the Trim Road just outside Kilcock where a considerable number of new housing schemes were completed before the property crash. Plans by two rival developers to build a new shopping centre in the town also came to a halt.

About 25 acres of the 69 acres due to be sold have been zoned for light industrial and industrial office use – something that should appeal to commercial companies because of the proximity of the site to the M4 motorway. The remaining 44 acres are not zoned.
