Parnell place warehouse is at the centre of the action in Cork

The location of two, 19th century stone warehouse buildings (plus an investment property currently let out as an adult shop,) on a central 0.42 of a Cork city centre acre put up for imaginative redevelopment is what underpins an asking price close to €2m, for the property and site’s owners and vendors, Cork City Council.

Likely to be pitched at offices for creative IT/design users, the building at Nos 7, 8, and 9 Parnell Place have over 150 years of history, and are being primed for new occupation.

They’re on the Central Business District (CBD) cusp, as the nearby South Mall also enjoys a major resurgence, where new arrivals include Republic of Work, with 15,500 sq ft taken for co-working business uses at 12 South Mall, a building owned by Michael O’Flynn and vacated by law firm RDJ three years ago when they moved to Mahon’s City Gate.
