Special finishing touches give riverside apartments the edge

THEY waited for the finishing touches before they began the sales push on Camden Wharf - and the finish, even on the exterior, is what will impress the most.

The development of 58 apartments, with generous roof gardens, is high-profile in Cork city centre. It is just 100 yards upriver of St Patrick's Bridge, across the Lee, via the Christy Ring bridge, from the Cork Opera House, and standing as a gateway to the rejuvenated Watercourse Road/Blackpool corridor.

Crisp, hard-edged urban brick is used in the exterior with high-quality limestone, as well as stainless steel detailing, to ensure Camden Wharf will age with grace in coming years.
