Speculatively-built facility at Little Island will test recovery

A good test of the pick-up in economic activity, and the demand for large logistics-related buildings, will come following the launch this week of a 53,000 sq ft multi-purpose building ‘box’ at Wallingstown, Little Island, just east of Cork city and the Jack Lynch tunnel.

It’s the first, and only, speculatively-built facility of any scale to come to market in Cork in several years, say agents Savills.

The sizeable building on a four-acre site is nearing ‘practical completion’ for the start of June, and can suit or be adapted for pharma, storage, distribution and other uses, says agent Niall Guerin of Savills.
