€100m apartment scheme unveiled for former Sextant Bar site in Cork

The council's deputy chief executive, Brian Geaney, said that the proposal 'will be the catalyst to further unleash the potential of the docklands area'

The plan, if greenlit, will see a 24-storey apartment tower built on the site of the former Sextant Bar on Albert Quay, Cork city.

Plans have been unveiled for a near €100m 24-storey apartment scheme on an iconic Cork city docklands site.

The vacant Sextant Bar site on Albert Quay, where private apartments were deemed non-viable three years ago, will now see more than 200 cost-rental apartments if greenlit.
