The ambitious plans by O’Callaghan Properties for the redevelopment of the decrepit and dilapidated Cork south docks area is a welcome addition to the re-imagining of Ireland’s second city.

This mixed development will, if granted planning permission, result in the provision of extensive new office and residential space to the east of the city.
