John Cleary Developments gets Mitsui Denman site

The time has come – once more - for development of the superbly located 32-acre ex Mitsui Denman site by Cork’s Jack Lynch Tunnel and East Gate business and retail park: the Mitsui site has been acquired by John Cleary Developments.

It’s the third time the former industrial site has been sold on since it was vacated in 2003 by electrolytic manganese dioxide producers, the Japanese firm Mitsui Denman, who’d come to Ireland in the 1970s.

First time on resale, the Mitsui site at Little Island made €15m, when close to 100 acres was bought by South Coast Transport and SWS who’d planned waste disposal and energy uses on it.
