Life in Donabate
Harman’s Rest is located in the established coastal village of Donabate in north County Dublin.

Building Oaklee’s Cost Rental programme
Harman’s Rest is Oaklee’s second Cost Rental scheme, following the delivery of 154 Cost Rental homes at The Sidings in Adamstown in 2025. The Sidings also included 30 social homes and was Oaklee’s first mixed-tenure scheme to bring Cost Rental and social homes together within one community.
Harman’s Rest builds on that experience and represents the next stage in Oaklee’s growing Cost Rental programme.
