It comes after North Ayrshire Council's proposals to create 43 energy efficient homes on the old Fullarton land were approved.
An application to create the new properties, where five blocks once stood for more than half a century, was submitted at the end of September.
The green light has now been given for the building of 36 two-bedroom general needs houses, which will either be semi-detached or terraced.
Four amenity bungalows - each with two bedrooms - are also to be built on the land alongside three properties which would be wheelchair liveable. Two of these will be three-bedroomed with one containing four bedrooms.
Each property is to have two dedicated parking spaces with the exception of amenity bungalows - which are to have one. A further 12 visitor car parking spaces would also be located on site.
Having been granted permission, it is expected that construction work will commence in early 2027 with completion expected in spring 2028.
This will see land which once housed iconic Irvine landmarks brought back into use.
Demolition of the former Fullarton high flats - and adjacent concierge station - commenced in August 2022 before completion at the end of 2023.
The decision to bring the 14-storey buildings down was agreed in 2018, in the wake of the Grenfell Tower fire.
Around 66 per cent of tenants voted in favour of the demolition of the tower blocks to allow for the creation of new social housing.
