Residential developers Quintain has secured planning permission for Cherrywood's first village centre from Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council in Dublin.
Quintain is in the process of delivering over 3,000 homes and 27 acres of green space in Cherrywood as part of its Cherrywood Village masterplan.
Cherrywood Village is located on a 65-acre site within the Cherrywood SDZ and aims to be the most "connected" village in Ireland.
The company said it has been designed to create a diverse new community that is easily accessible by public transport, with a strong emphasis on sustainable development that protects existing heritage sites.
Quintain has invested €156m so far in its Cherrywood development.
A total of 136 homes have already been completed and are occupied, while a further 215 are under construction.
The company has planning permission for another 1,459 homes while it is currently seeking planning approval for 445 with more to come.
Michael Hynes, co-managing director of Quintain Ireland, said the new Cherrywood Village Centre is a much-needed development.
"Designed and due to be delivered to the highest standards, it will be a fantastic setting for residents to meet, shop, relax and spend time outdoors. There will be a village green, a major supermarket, cafes, restaurants and a number of shops and businesses in addition to community spaces," Mr Hynes said.
Mr Hynes said that Quintain Ireland's mission is to create exceptional and affordable places to live, which are at the forefront of design, placemaking and sustainability.
"This involves the delivery of a high number of homes, but we are acutely aware that we need to build communities too. We strive to deliver quality amenities and quality open spaces alongside quality housing and Cherrywood Village Centre is a great example of how we achieve this," he added.
Quintain Ireland's broader land portfolio covers 460 acres of prime assets in Ireland at Adamstown, Clonburris, Portmarnock, and Cherrywood, making Quintain one of the largest residential developers in the country. It has plans to build a total of 9,000 homes on these sites.
