Developers plan to top tallest Irish tower
Planning permission is being sought this week for a 17-storey apartment tower, as part of an ambitious and architecturally-driven €100 million development on the former An Post site next to Cork’s City Hall.
Taking up the corner of a three-acre site near the river and at the end of the south city link road, which will mostly be six and seven storeys tall, the copper-skinned and glazed single tower could reach 70 metres, or 224 feet in height, making it just 13 feet taller than the County Hall, the country’s tallest building.
