Project that includes Cork city’s biggest hotel gets go-ahead

Ambitious plans for a development that will include Cork’s largest hotel have been given the go-ahead by An Bord Pleanála.

The planning appeals board recommended that planning be granted to BAM Property Ltd for its mixed-use scheme on the site of the now demolished government buildings complex on Sullivan’s Quay.

The project includes a 220-bed hotel in a 12-storey (44m) cylindrical tower, and a six-storey office block providing almost 8,000 sq m of office space.
