Business park ‘ready to go’ at Ringaskiddy

WITH all roads set to lead to Cork Harbour’s Ringaskiddy, thanks to a Port of Cork downriver operations move, and a new, vastly improved road link, the timing of the launch of a major space facility for logistics, storage, and manufacturing is apt.

Up to 200,000 sq ft of modern buildings on a site of 15 acres is available at the Ringport Business Park on the edge of Ringaskiddy village, with 40,000 sq ft recently taken by PJ Hegarty’s to pre-assemble a facility for work it is doing at the new Lilly €200m biopharm expansion at Dunderrow.

And, coincidentally, that pre-assembly use by Hegarty’s recalls the site’s initial use, as it was purpose-built on day one by developer John Fleming for his Fusion Building Solutions business, which employed up to 700 people on-site in Ringaskiddy, system-building steel frame structures for the Irish and UK apartment and student accommodation sectors.
