Going east for Blackrock's Eden?

Tommy Barker says interest will be keen in new Blackrock releases. 

THE first sales of three dozen homes in the Eden development in Cork’s Blackrock, being sold by receivers Grant Thornton, start from this weekend, at prices from €240,000 for three-bed duplexes, up to €365,000 for large and lofty four-bed townhouses.

The development, in the heart of Blackrock village at the former Ursuline Convent, first launched in 2005, with 550 homes planned in a €200m-plus development, and was billed at the time as the single largest new homes scheme in a city suburb.
