Work starts on latest Cork docklands project

The regeneration of Cork’s docklands has stepped up another gear with work underway on a €125m office block on the northern quays which will be able to accommodate more than 2,250 workers by mid-2020.

John Cleary, the developer behind the Penrose Dock project near the train station, said he believes the scheme, which is being built next to the larger €400m HQ office, 136-bed boutique hotel and apartments scheme, will help create a thriving new economic ‘station district’ in the city centre and will rival anything on offer in Dublin’s docklands.
