Residents of Cork's newest private student accommodation will pay rents of around €1,000 a month.

UCC’s acquisition of the Irish Management Institute (IMI) was a major driver of a 7.7% increase in the university’s income to €371.7m in 2017, according to its latest accounts.

A TRIO of terraced 1890s-built villa buildings, facing the UCC campus and main entry gates on Cork city’s Western Road is up for sale in one lot for €2.35 million, pitched for student accommodation, residential, offices or academic/medical-related uses, with possible further development to rear.

A PEARL of a riverside Cork site, between the gates of UCC and the city centre, is for sale for €2.5m.

IT’S been interesting to watch the progress of this expansion/development at the corner of Victoria Cross over the past while.
