Residential developers Quintain has today launched its Masterplan for Cherrywood Village, which will deliver 1,300 new homes in the Dún Laoghaire Rathdown area in Co Dublin by 2025.
Cherrywood Village is located on a 65-acre site within the Cherrywood Strategic Development Zone (SDZ).
It will comprise a mix of new houses, duplexes and apartments with two public parks, 27 acres of green space, as well as retail and civic amenities in the village centre.
Quintain plans to start construction before the end of the year, with the first homes completed by the middle of 2021.
The company said it aims to have all 1,300 homes built and the village fully occupied by 2025.
It said it is also factoring in the increase in working from home into its plans and is looking at options to incorporate office space into its new houses, and to build more shared workspace in its apartment developments.
The developers said the project has been designed to create a diverse new community that will be easily accessible by public transport, with a strong emphasis on sustainable development that protects existing heritage sites.
Eddie Byrne, Joint Managing Director at Quintain Ireland, said the company was excited to be launching the masterplan for what he said will be the most connected village in Ireland.
"Cherrywood Village will deliver much needed new housing supply to an area that is well-connected to existing infrastructure and amenities. The 1,300 homes we are planning will cater to a range of different housing needs with a particular focus on young families and first-time buyers," Mr Byrne added.
Michael Hynes, Joint Managing Partner of Quintain, said the development's design approach will incorporate features to facilitate working from home, and deliver a high standard of energy efficiency.
"Cherrywood Village is in a stunning location with views of both the Irish Sea and the Dublin Mountains. Cycleways and pedestrian routes will link to the LUAS and Dublin Bus stops, and a vibrant village centre will provide shops, restaurants and cafés, and crèche facilities," he added.
Quintain is also responsible for the residential development of a further 340 acres of prime assets in Ireland at Adamstown, Clonburris, and Portmarnock.
Overall it plans to develop 600,000 square feet of commercial space and more than 9,000 new homes, which would make it one of the largest residential developer in the country.
