Swords Road, or Airport Trade Park as it is known is a 120,260 sq ft Grade A industrial and urban logistics development in Santry, Dublin, The scheme comprises 13 units, ranging from approximately 3,615 sq ft to 22,670 sq ft, providing flexible accommodation for a range of industrial, warehouse and trade counter occupiers. The development was completed in 2026.

The five-acre site is located on Swords Road, approximately 1.7 km south of Dublin Airport and 8 km north of Dublin city centre. Its proximity to the M1, M50 and wider road network makes it well suited to businesses requiring efficient access to Dublin and the surrounding region.

Previously used for office accommodation, vehicle storage and construction-related activities, the site provided an opportunity to redevelop underused land into modern employment space in an established commercial location.

The development was designed to provide flexible, modern industrial accommodation capable of meeting the requirements of a range of occupiers. The 13 units offer a choice of sizes, allowing the scheme to accommodate different business operations while maintaining a consistent overall development.

A key consideration was making efficient use of the available site while providing practical access, servicing and circulation for industrial and logistics operations. The completed development provides high-quality commercial space in a location where proximity to transport infrastructure is a major advantage.

Sustainability was an important part of the development brief, with Airport Trade Park targeting LEED Gold accreditation.

The specification incorporates photovoltaic panels, electric vehicle charging points and air-source heat pumps. High-performance building materials were also selected to improve the energy performance of the units, while rooflights covering approximately 15% of the roof area help maximise natural daylight and reduce the need for artificial lighting during daylight hours.

The scheme demonstrates how strategically located urban logistics developments can make more effective use of existing commercial land while providing modern, energy-efficient workspace for a broad range of businesses.
