Planning upheld for 15-storey glass-fronted office tower in Cork

A striking 15-storey glass-fronted office tower in Cork city centre will enhance the city’s skyline and not impact significantly on important views, An Bórd Pleanála said as it upheld planning for the €20m project.

The developers of the triangular Prism Building welcomed the decision and said work could start within months on the compact underused site next to the city’s central bus station, and bounded by Clontarf St, Deane St and Lower Oliver Plunkett St.
