Another sales boost on horizon for Cork docklands

Tommy Barker reports on quay deals for future dock developments.

Cork’s moth-balled dockland development ambitions got a boost with last week’s formal launch of the €50m One Albert Quay John Cleary/BAM 175,000 sq ft office block, right next to City Hall and the Elysian tower.

And, now, another as-yet undisclosed investor is closing in on a far-larger site for medium to longer-term docklands redevelopment, paying close to €1.5m for c 4.5 acres via Lisney.
