Dunadry Gate, which will be home to a selection of 13 four and six-bed detached and semi-detached homes, will feature some of the most advanced smart home technology, as well as provision for EV charging points for electric cars, contributing to the UK’s target of zero net emissions by 2050.
Among the other smart features in the new development are smart video doorbells that allow homeowners to tap into an app anywhere reaching directly to their doorstep.

The new high spec homes are illustrative of Ballyclare based Simpson Developments dedication to being a leader in the housing market, but they also reflect the firm’s environmental conscience.
Dunadry Gate, which is currently under construction, will support 50 jobs during the building phase.
Speaking about the development, David Simpson said: “After many years we have finally started our high-end exclusive development in Dunadry. These homes will, like all of our developments, be built to a high spec but what is unique about this site is the holistic smart home technology each build has. We believe we are one of the first in Northern Ireland to fully integrate all the modern smart technology that is available to homes and this development, we hope, will be a pioneer that influences the future of homebuilding in Northern Ireland for many years to come.

“The environment has always been at the forefront of our decisions when planning and realising our developments. Green energy has been a major focal point for the UK Government and while recent events have overshadowed that drive, it’s always at the forefront of what we do.”
