Ballincollig site cleared for flight

A significant CIF briefing in Cork today will address the issue of economics and viability of new house building in current market conditions and at today’s residential values — and, ironically, today is also when marketing starts on a top location site for upmarket new builds on Cork’s western fringes, between the affluent western suburbs and employment hot-spot Ballincollig.

Launching today, as an executor sale, is a site of 4.74 acres just off the Model Farm Road and at the city end of the Killumney road, next to St Oliver’s Cemetery.

It has planning for 27 houses, but one site’s being retained by the vendors.
