Blocks in the city

TWO niche apartment blocks in a high-profile corner setting by Cork’s Kent rail station are new to market this week with agents Savills who describe them as “high-end”.

There’s a current rental income of €208,000 pa and scope to bring that closer to €250,000 a year if currently unused commercial ground floor units are converted to apartments.

The properties are the wedge-shaped Unity House, with five apartments and retail unit, and the larger adjoining St Patrick’s House, with 13 apartments on Lower Glanmire Road, and they can be bought separately or together.
