Canalach development continues to sell despite difficult climate

Thu, Apr 30, 2009

Ballinasloe’s exciting, modern, architecturally designed Cuil na Canalach development at Poolboy in Ballinasloe is continuing to experience high levels of buyer interest, and continuing steady levels of sales, despite the general air of doom and gloom surrounding the general economy, and the property market in particular. Cathal O’Malley, director of local development company Comrad Holdings which is developing the project, notes that it is not entirely unprecedented for Ballinasloe to buck the national trend, remembering how the town thrived during the ‘80s while the rest of the country experienced recession. He hopes that the recent successes experienced in the town with the success of the Carlton Shearwater Hotel, the initiation of construction on the new retail park with Tesco as anchor tenant, and the many other successes of the town will herald another prosperous phase in its development.

As a native of Ballinasloe, O’Malley is proud of the town, and delighted when Comrad can support the many local groups such as the Show Society, and the ever successful Ballinasloe Musical Society, as these are the groups which make towns such as Ballinasloe excellent places to live. The schools, hospitals, and amenities of the town provide sources of employment as well as centres for community development, ensuring that people who choose to live in Ballinasloe benefit from a quality of life that encompasses much more than just a house within commuting distance of anywhere.
