Eastern promise

Companies seeking up to 26,000 sq ft of offices in Cork which are ready to walk into, will find a building recently sold to a private investor at Little Island could fit their bill.

Vacated last year by pharma company Lilly’s back-office/shared financial services, No 11 Eastgate Avenue was viewed earlier this year by companies such as Apple, who were seeking expansion space in the Cork region.

Subsquently Apple moved to lease a vacated building at the Model Farm Road. They now have a spread of presence at their Hollyhill HQ, Half Moon Street and Model Farm Road, where they took over the old Assurant building.
