A building for buyers to ‘court’

Two former Cork City sites, associated with boom-time purchases involving Oyster Developments, are being brought to market by Savills.

One is the former Atkins building, which, for a period, was a temporary courthouse on Camden Quay, near St Patrick’s Bridge and opposite the Opera House. It last sold in 2005, for €12.2m: now, its price is €750,000, and it is open to a variety of uses, from cultural to commercial.

The second site, also controlled by Oyster Developments and also now being sold, is at the Carrigrohane Straight Road, just west of County Hall and Victoria Cross, opposite the just-reopened Kingsley Hotel.
