Submissions made about Cork's Albert Quay office proposal

Submissions have been made in relation to the proposed Albert Quay office development, for which Owen O’Callaghan has sought permission in Cork’s south docklands.

Cork City Council is due to decide the application by late next week, but may seek further information from the applicant firm, Appoville Ltd. It lodged plans at the end of February for the site of 2.5-acres, which stretches back to Albert Road and has frontage to Victoria Road, on the east of the site.

The plans replace a previously-approved application for an events centre, after public funding was awarded, instead, to the alternative events centre, at the city centre Beamish brewery site. The O’Callaghan company now plans four office blocks, ranging from three to six storeys in height, for office, business, or technology use.
