IDA Ireland currently owns three sites in Waterford, details of which are set out below. The Agency also markets other publically and privately-owned land to potential investors, where it is more appropriate to client requirements.
| County | City/Town | Business Park/Site Name | Total Size | Available for marketing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Waterford | Waterford | IDA Business & Technology Park, Butlerstown | 28 ha/69 acres | 22 ha/ 54 acres |
| Waterford | Waterford | IDA Industrial Estate | 1.8ha/ 4.5 acres | 1.8ha/ 4.5 acres |
| Waterford | Dungarvan | IDA Business & Technology Park, Dungarvan (Lisfennel) | 17.74 ha/36.5 acres | 11.47 ha/ 28 acres |
In addition to available lands, a key component of the IDA Ireland’s property strategy is the provision of ready, suitable buildings for prospective investors. Such facilities were constructed and completed in Athlone and Waterford in 2014 and early 2015. Under the property investment programme, The Agency plans to deliver another nine facilities, including a second build in Waterford, over the next three years.
