South Mall’s ‘tech corridor’ emerging

A ‘tech corridor’ is emerging on Cork City’s venerable South Mall — the historic commercial boulevard is now to be bookended at the iconic 97 South Mall by fast-growing company Eventbrite, who may employ up to 100 employees there over the next few years.

Confirmation came this week that the leading ticketing and event technology platform Eventbrite has taken on a long-term lease on the imposing former bank building at the easter end of the South Mall, at the corner with Parnell Place.
