Revised €45m office block granted approval

Revised plans for a €45m quayside office block, with the potential to deliver 1,800 jobs for Cork City, have been given planning permission.

City planners gave the green light yesterday to the scaled-back project proposed by John Cleary Development’s Progressive Commercial Construction and BAM Properties for the site on Albert Quay.

“This €45m project, which is fully funded, will deliver over 1,800 jobs into the city centre,” a JCD spokesman said.
