Begin a new life in the Old Quarter

VISITORS to this weekend’s show house openings at Ballincollig old barracks redevelopment can look - but they can’t get a financial touch right now.

Eight show-houses will be open tomorrow afternoon. However, a release of 44 residential units at the O’Flynn Construction site was an instant sell-out at a reserved launch last week, with a tranche of intending buyers circulated off a reserved list built up over the last several months.

The next release of homes is not due ‘til October of this year in the phased development of the 834 houses and apartments. Selling agents Sherry FitzGerald saw a rapid take-up from their accumulated list of buying hopefuls: up to 700 people were circulated and invited to a pre-launch viewing last weekend, with the first offerings going for sale on Monday morning.
