Planning permission has been granted for 732 new homes and two public parks at the former Player Wills site in Dublin 8.
Developer Hines got the go-ahead from An Bord Pleanala for the development at the 7-point-6 acre site.
The proposal includes 492 apartments and 240 'co-living' units.
The plan faced significant local objection, in particular over the height of the 19-storey buildings.
The developer says the taller buildings will be be located at the centre of the site, away from the existing streets and houses.
