Shoppers’ paradise unveiled

IMAGES of Cork’s newest shopping precinct which is being developed in one of the city’s most historic trading areas were unveiled yesterday.

Shoppers got their first glimpse of how the multi-million euro shopping centre which is being built on the former Guy’s site on Cornmarket Street will look once finished.

Advertising hoardings went up on Peter’s Lane and Paul Street showing the Cornmarket Centre — a five-storey shopping centre with a curved sweeping roof, large panes of frosted glass, steel support structures, and incorporating the landmark facade of the former Guy’s and Co building.
