We are a home and community builder, leading the market in creating sustainable foundations upon which Ireland can thrive.

As Ireland's largest Self-build Apartment Developer and Homebuilder with a mature and scaled end-to-end operating platform, our business has the resources and capabilities to deliver a choice of new homes where people want to live now and into the future. 

At Cairn, it’s not about what we build. It’s about why we build. It’s about putting down a marker that will stand for generations to come. Creating new communities of connection and belonging, building towards an Ireland where everyone can thrive. Our vision includes people, progress and prosperity for all. 

Because when we build, it’s Built For Good.

At the heart of our commitment to sustainable placemaking is the time we spend on developing community initiatives. To ensure that these initiatives are sustainable in the long term, we concentrate on giving residents the tools, resources and power to drive projects forward after the initial pilot schemes. We believe that this is the way to create highly desirable and socially responsible developments that will evolve and grow over time to become even better.
