Howard Holdings pays €30m for harbour site

DEVELOPERS Howard Holdings have paid over €30 million for part of the former Mitsui Denman plant site in Cork harbour.

The development company this week signed contracts for 37 acres of the former 100-acre manganese dioxide manufacturing facility in Cork’s Little Island, which closed in 2003 and is now dismantled.

It forms part of Howard Holdings’ strategic intention to become the lead developer in Cork’s docklands campus, as it allows the company to offer relocation sites to businesses currently close to Cork city centre in the docklands quays/Marina/Centre Park Road.
