South Dublin County Council has granted permission to a €156 million development in Walkinstown.
The development will see the demolition of the former Chadwicks Builders Merchant site to make way for 588 new homes.
Developers Steeplefield Ltd look to build the apartments across four blocks, ranging from five to 12 storeys in height.
Of the apartments, 291 are one-beds, 238 are two-beds, and 59 are three-beds.
All apartments will have either a private balcony or terrace.

For the residents of the development, developers will also construct a 570.91 sqm childcare facility with a dedicated outdoor play area.
Construction will also be underway for six commercial or retail units and another commercial unit on the first floor across Blocks A, B and D.
An indoor communal residential amenity space will also be available.
On the outside, there are provisions for landscaped courtyards, play areas, seating and gardens.
Apartment Blocks A and B will also host communal roof gardens.
In terms of vehicular access, plans are in place to provide four entrances – including a primary ramp from Greenhills Road and three secondary entrances from the south.
The development includes 270 car parking spaces and 1,269 bicycle parking spaces.
Steeplefield Ltd originally submitted plans to deliver 633 units on the same Walkinstown site in 2022 as a Strategic Housing Development. However, An Bord Pleanála, now An Coimisiún Pleanála, shot down the application following objections from Brennan’s Bakery.
They resubmitted plans in May 2025 with a revised 588 apartments. South Dublin County Council gave the go-ahead in late December last year.
