CIÉ’s Horgan’s Quay site looks poised to play a key role in Cork city centre’s next stage of growth, to accommodate a development with an end value of several hundred million euros and spanning offices, apartments for the rental market, and an hotel and other services.
Horgan's Quay site to play key role in Cork city growth

It comes as CIÉ has this month signed off on development terms and a partnership agreement for a vital six-acre portion of its large Horgan’s Quay, Cork city centre rail station ground, three decades after private development terms were first considered for the high-profile, under-used waterfronting site.

Developer Owen O’Callaghan had initially spotted the site’s potential 21 years ago and proposed a science park for a site of three acres on Horgan’s Quay back in 1995, but pulled out after political accusations of a “cosy cartel” as it had not gone to the open market.
