Boathouse and apartments planned for waterfront

A DRAMATIC €50 million plan to transform a waterfront in Blackrock village, Cork, has been lodged with the city council.

It proposes a multi-million euro boathouse and club facilities for the long-established Cork Boat Club, 119 apartments and a small office unit.

It proposes reclamation of up to half-an-acre of public foreshore, the provision of a public boardwalk along the water’s edge, as well as private slips and pontoons for the rowing club’s use.
