The green light has been given for a new apartment block off the Ballymoneen Road in Knocknacarra.
The three-story project, led by Abbeyclare Construction Ltd, will offer 12 new homes.
A number of objections had been lodged, with one argument being that the block would be excessive in height.
But city planners have now approved the plans with routine conditions attached.
