Supporting people to live in their own communities

The homes at Silverbrook provide high-quality, secure accommodation for individuals and families in Tullamore, supporting people to live within their own communities — close to family, schools, employment and local services.

For many, having access to a secure home locally provides stability and the opportunity to build a future in a place they already know and are connected to.

High-quality, energy-efficient and inclusive homes

The development comprises 25 new homes delivered across two phases at Arden Road, forming part of a wider residential development in Tullamore.

All homes are A2-rated, supporting energy efficiency and helping to reduce household costs for residents.

Importantly, the development includes 10 universally designed bungalows, providing homes that support independent living and accessibility for people of all abilities. This reflects Co-operative Housing Ireland’s commitment to inclusive housing that meets a range of needs.

Delivering homes at scale in Offaly and nationwide

Co-operative Housing Ireland continues to deliver homes at scale across Ireland, supporting nearly 18,000 people nationwide.

Developments like Silverbrook play an important role in meeting housing need at a local level while contributing to long-term, sustainable housing delivery.

Strong partnerships delivering lasting impact

Silverbrook has been delivered in partnership with Offaly County Council, the Department of Housing, the Housing Agency, the Housing Finance Agency, and Codd Property Holdings.

The wider development includes landscaped open spaces, a playground and recreational areas, contributing to a well-connected and sustainable community for our Member Tenants.

Building communities, not just homes

Housing developments like Silverbrook represent more than the delivery of new homes. They mark the beginning of a new chapter for the individuals and families who will live there.

Co-operative Housing Ireland remains committed to working with partners to deliver high-quality, secure homes and to support thriving communities across Offaly and beyond.
