Firm denied bid to add to Cork student apartment block

Cork City Council has turned down plans to add 40 bedrooms to a student accommodation development already under construction at a city centre former brewery site.

BAM Property began work in November at the old Beamish & Crawford site on South Main St to build more than 400 student bed spaces.

The firm has yet to begin construction on two other parts of the site as planning issues have yet to be decided on the city’s long-delayed events centre.
