Under the Hammer: Large premises in Ballincollig suitable for wide range of uses

The former Ballincollig DIY & Garden Centre — an offshoot of a previously relocated business which was originally the Victoria Cross Sawmills — on a good 1.8 acre site with high-quality existing buildings is up for sale, suitable for storage, trading or other new uses.

Set at the Ballincollig Commercial Park, on the Link Road, Ballincollig, just west of Cork city and suburbs, the property has two buildings, one of 15,000 sq ft, the other of 6,500 sq ft. Developed by the Victoria Cross Sawmill Company (their city site is now occupied by UCC student accommodation), the complex has good car parking and hardstanding and has a mixed zoning, notes selling agent Shay Cronin of Cronin Wall, adding that near neighbours and uses span retail, warehousing and industry/workshops.

The properties have been dedicated to retail/public sales and warehousing and are of a high standard, says agent Mr Cronin, noting that they would suit new traders, and existing local firms needing to trade up or to acquire more space.
