Permission is being sought for an additional 28 homes on the site.
A town centre apartment complex in Portlaoise could be getting even bigger.
Plans are already approved for large blocks of up to five storeys on Harpur's Lane and permission is being sought for 28 further homes at the former Minch Norton site.
During the Celtic Tiger, The Maltings was to become an €84 million shopping centre but the project was shelved when a receiver was appointed by Anglo Irish Bank.
The new owners are developing the scheme in phases, with the latest to include a creche for 22 children.
Laois County Council will accept submissions on the plans until April 7th.
