D/RES Properties is a privately owned housebuilder headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, with a legacy connected to over 50 years of the Durkan family’s housebuilding activity in the region. Led by CEO Patrick Durkan, the company focuses on residential development across the greater Dublin, Wicklow, and Kildare areas.
Currently, D/RES Properties employs between 55 and 65 people and is recognized as one of the largest private housebuilders in Ireland. Estimates of annual revenue vary, with one source suggesting approximately $7.4 million, while another indicates up to $22.9 million. The company targets first-time buyers and owner-occupiers, consistently maintaining a commitment to sustainable construction practices.
A defining characteristic is D/RES’s emphasis on sustainability and community integration. The company actively works to reduce embodied carbon in its projects by shifting from concrete to timber-frame construction, drastically cutting emissions in new homes. Projects such as Tinakilly Park in Rathnew, County Wicklow incorporate features like electrical heat pumps instead of fossil fuel heating, and offer optional renewable energy packages for buyers, including battery storage and microgrid connectivity. In all developments, biodiversity and access to green spaces are considered essential, with every new home within a short walk of parkland.
Notable ongoing and recent projects include the Dun Si development in Portmarnock, Newpark in Adamstown, and the delivery of Wicklow’s largest park as part of Tinakilly Park. D/RES Properties continues to operate primarily in the greater Dublin area and engages with the Irish Green Building Council to support sector-wide sustainability improvements.
