Survey works to start on Cork landbank with potential for 4,000 homes

The site is part of an IDA-owned 77-hectare landbank at Kilbarry, which extends north and south of Kilbarry Business Park.

Survey works are about to start on a massive State-owned landbank on the northside of Cork City to guide development on a site which could yield more than 4,000 homes.

However, it could be years before any construction starts given the constraints on the site at Kilbarry, where the estimated cost of providing the required infrastructure for housing is put at up to €130m, with another €170m required for what has been described as “abnormal infrastructure”.
