Cork City Council puts brakes on Mahon Point 2.0 plans

City Hall seeking assurances on concerns such as transport impact

The plans would see the construction of 251 apartments, an office block for up to 580 workers, a new civic plaza/market square for gatherings such as the weekly farmers markets, a multi-storey car park, a discount retailer, and eight to 10 additional 'bigger box' shops.

The brakes have been put on plans for a massive €200m development at Cork’s largest retail complex at Mahon Point, as City Hall seeks assurances on concerns such as transport impacts in the area.

Dubbed Mahon 2.0, planning permission was lodged with Cork City Council in July by Deka Immobilien for the mixed-use development.
