Built by Danninger, construction at the Section 23 scheme is well under way and many units are already completed. The new phase will see the release of a further 60 units due for completion from next spring as well as the launch of show units at the development.

Comprised of large, goodvalue one-, two- and threebed units, prices at the development which offers 85% tax relief start at 300,000.

Designed by Mahony Pike Architects, the development offers residents the best of both worlds, the community atmosphere of a village with the excitement of a city.

The apartments are bright with generous balconies and full-height glazing. Other features include fitted kitchens, fitted wardrobes, tiled ensuites in most and low-cost electric heating systems.

Elevated landscaped gardens provide outdoor spaces offering views of the Dublin mountains.

Residents will have everything on hand, as well as street-level retail units, including Marks & Spencer as anchor tenant. Tallaght Cross is just minutes from Tallaght shopping centre, Tallaght Hospital, the Civic Theatre, South Dublin Library, a new football stadium at Sean Walsh Park, not to mention numerous cafes, bars and restaurants, and the Red Luas line at its doorstep.
