Occu

Occu: residential rental in Dublin and its metropolitan area

Occu is a Dublin-based residential rental operator that markets apartments and houses for lease in its own developments. The company presents itself as an alternative to traditional renting, with transparent pricing, tenant-focused service and centralised management through its resident portal.

Its portfolio is concentrated in Dublin city and its outskirts, with developments in areas such as Clonburris, Killiney, Dún Laoghaire, Lucan, Hansfield, Belcamp, Docklands, Killester, Swords, Santry, Mulhuddart, Leopardstown, Hollystown, Tallaght, Raheny, Belmayne, Rathfarnham, Shankill, Portmarnock, Howth Road and Clontarf. The company also announces new locations in preparation in and around Dublin.

Housing types and development sizes

The offering combines apartments and houses for rent. Apartments range from studios and one-bedroom units to three-bedroom homes, with floor areas that in some cases reach 205 m². Houses, meanwhile, are offered in three- to five-bedroom types, designed for families or groups needing more space.

Featured developments include Cheevers & Haliday, with 368 luxury apartments near the coast; East Village, in fourteen acres of natural parkland; Adamstown, in Lucan; Strand View, beside Dublin Bay; Belcamp Manor; Abbot; Verville; Scholarstown, at the foot of the Dublin mountains; Hollywoodrath; Cedarview; Brookwood; and Barnwell Point.

Services and amenities

The company states that its developments may include services such as a gym and studio, fully furnished units, dry cleaning, speedy maintenance, residents' concierge, parking, secure bike parking, excellent transport links, family playground, electric car share and parcel collection. The company notes that these features are illustrative of its portfolio as a whole and may vary by development, so not all services are available at every scheme.

Occu also presents itself as a pet-friendly option: most of its homes welcome pets with approval, although the policy is set on a scheme-by-scheme basis and some developments operate a no-pets policy.

Application process and resident support

The company details an application process for those who wish to rent a home. Existing residents can manage enquiries through the Occu Resident app or the My Occu portal, while general enquiries are channelled through a form on the contact page.

Presence in Ireland and expansion to London

Occu operates mainly in Ireland, with developments in Dublin and its metropolitan area. The company has announced its arrival in London with Occu Edenwood, on the site of the former Galtymore, and maintains new locations in preparation in Ireland. The company named on the site is Occu Living Limited, with PSRA licence no. 004136.
