Mallow firm to develop €1.5bn area in London

A MALLOW construction company is set to develop €1.5 billion worth of property in London’s Docklands.

Castlelands Construction, owned by Mallow man John Barry, has bought up four plots of land in the east of London sourced by Mallow property consultant Pat Shine. . On that land it is to develop almost 4,000 residential units in the coming five years.

Designs for the first project, two glass-fronted ship-like 30-storey blocks on an acre of land overlooking the Thames, have already been created and a planning application will be lodged shortly.
