QUIETLY launched and quietly ticking over, the Lancaster Gate development on Cork’s Western Road is one of the success stories of the slump.

All of the units in phase one of this O’Callaghan Properties scheme are now sold and occupied, and that’s due in no small part to the location. (So too has the genius marketing slogan: ‘if you lived here, you’d be home by now’).

But the sleek Henry J Lyons design, using aluminium and glass in three main buildings, has also pushed sales.
