Plans have been unveiled for a new south Dublin village that promises to deliver 1,300 homes in the next five years.
Cherrywood Village is located on a 65-acre site within the Cherrywood Strategic Development Zone (SDZ) and will comprise a mix of new houses, duplexes and apartments with two public parks, 27 acres of green space, and over 4,300m² of retail and civic amenities in the village centre.
Developers Quintan say the site will be the most connected village in the country with access to Laughanstown Luas Station and extensive cycle paths and walking routes.
Michael Hynes, Joint Managing Partner of Quintain said: “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.
"Our design approach will incorporate features to facilitate working from home, and deliver a high standard of energy efficiency.”
Fellow Joint Managing Director Eddie Byrne added: "We are excited to be launching this Masterplan for what will be the most connected village in Ireland, putting community, accessibility and sustainability at the centre of its plans.
"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.”
Quintain plans to start construction before the end of the year with the first homes completed by mid-2021.
The developer has an ambitious timeline for the project, aiming to have all 1,300 homes built and fully occupied by 2025.
The village will be situated close to major employers such as Vodafone and Microsoft in Sandyford, and Dell and Elavon in Cherrywood Science and Technology Park.
The newly launched masterplan is available at www.cherrywoodvillage.ie where prospective homeowners can also register for a tour of the site.
