A developer has been selected to build more than 600 homes on the Oscar Traynor Road site in north Dublin.
The 17-hectare plot is owned by Dublin city council and has been earmarked for development for a number of years.
640 units are expected to be built on the land that sits on the junction of the M1, port tunnel and Oscar Traynor Road.
Glenveagh has been chosen as the preferred bidder to construct a mix of private, social and affordable homes on the greenfield site.
More details are expected to be announced later this month.
Glenveagh will present further information to the North Central Area Committee on September 21st.
