A ‘Grand’ opportunity in Cork

There’s sheer, distinctive profile and a unique setting at No 46 Grand Parade — a period Leeside building linking Cork city centre and its South Mall to the proposed new events centre on South Main Street.

New to market with Margaret Kelleher and David McCarthy of Lisney is 46, the former Dún Mhuire building, owned for several decades by long-established developer/investor Robin Power, and which had been in use as offices for 30 years, recently occupied by Bank of Scotland, and then more latterly by Certus.

It book-ends the South Mall, by the Nano Nagle pedestrian bridge and is set right on the riverbank, on the Lee’s southern channel: it has gable windows overlooking the water, and now — subject to planning permission — seems custom-set for an Electric or Courtyard-style bar/restaurant venture, and perhaps a continuation of the boardwalk from South Mall, towards the South Gate Bridge.
